Original version by leonard cohen

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows that the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight is fixed
The poor stay poor and the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows that the boat is sinking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody's got this broken feeling
Like their momma or there dog just died
Everybody's hands are in their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that its now or never
Everybody knows that its me or you
Everybody knows that you live forever
When you had a line or two
Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old black joe still pickin' cotton
For ribbons and bows
Everybody knows you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you been faithful
Give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you been discrete
So many people you had to meet
Without your clothes
And everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's the way it goes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
That's how it goes
And everybody knows

This deja-vu feeling
I know quite well
This psychic confusion
This living hell
A cosmic connection
With someone somewhere
Is coming from your direction
I swear, i swear

And i've been running all this time
And i'm running out of places to go
And i am oh so sick and tired of every face that i know
Everything i do, everything i say
Everything in my head, every night, every day
I've been east, i've been west, i've been north, i've been south
I feel your arms, i hear your voice, i feel ypur hands, i kiss your mouth
And i am walking in london
And you are watching me walk
Talking italian
And you are hearing me talk
Singing in sydney
And you were sitting right there
Feeling you in me - everywhere, everywhere

An invisible touch
On the back of my neck
Fingerprints lingering
Warm breath
I'm either going insane
Or i'm a human wire
Receiving a signal
Desire, desire

And i've been running all this time
And i'm running out of places to go
And i am oh so sick and tired of every face that i know
Everything i do, everything i say
Everything in my head, every night, every day
I've been east, i've been west, i've been north, i've been south
I hear your voice, i see your face, i feel your hands, i kiss your mouth
And i'm walking in london
And you are watching me walk
Talking italian
And you are hearing me talk
Singing in sydney
And you were sitting right there
Feeling you in me - everywhere, everywhere


I've been east, i've been west, i've been north, i've been south
I've been east, i've been west, i've been north, i've been south
I've been east, i've been west, i've been north, i've been south
I feel your arms, i hear your voice, i feel your hands, i kiss your mouth

And i'm walking in london
And you are watching me walk
Talking italian
And you are hearing me talk
Singing in sydney
And you were sitting right there
Feeling you in me - everywhere, everywhere

I hope this will be enough for you for now and i encourage others to
Contribute to the list.

Each day i get into my car
And drive along the shore
To the place where i first saw you

Ride a wave, ride a wave

I know that you don't see me there
Wet sand clinging to your hair
As you take me, take me away
When we

Ride a wave, ride a wave

Sometimes i watch you paddle
Way out in the sea
And i think of what it would be like
If you were next to me

Sometimes i get so scared, so scared
As the ocean carries you
And you are so amazing
You are a surfer true

Today i saw your picture in the papaer
They said the weather changed suddenly and you were lost
Suddenly, somewhere near new zealand
And i cried many tears as i now lay ...

And i cried many tears as i now lay flowers on your face, your skin
And everyone around me is saying your name

My love, your name
