By now you know
Something for nothing
Really means keeping
Your mouth shut
About this night
The leering lights
Give the impression
Of an office setting
Emptiness takes hold
She's getting cold
She's feeling barefoot
And the concrete quivers
Shrinking beneath her toes
By now you know
Someone you love made
A couple hundred grand this summer
At Bohemian Grove
All your pretty faces
Are just bidding wars
By now you know
In California the son
Is always searching for starlets
For moonlit nights
The camera shines
Leather and romance
Whiskey bottles littered
Broken on the floor
He wants some more
She wants the money
So whispers softly
Honey let me ease your pain
By now you know
The ending's coming
The morning breaks
With nothing learned
And nothing gained
All your pretty faces
Are just bidding wars
