Texty: John Hiatt. Everybody Went Low.

Well, the prize was right there underneath our eyeballs
And when it all came down we were looking for the pitfalls
Until Junie said, "Baby, get yourself to going
Oh, we were so far gone, we had no way of knowing"

Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low

Well, she was pretty as a June bug, jumpy as a nerve end
And when she pulled the rug out, my tires started swerving
When I was driving through the living room, driving through the basement
Looking for the lowest spot in the pavement

Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low

Nothing there to corrupt you
Nothing there to live up to
There's nothing further down
Turn it off or turn around

Well, I was coming up for air, I heard somebody breathing
It was Junie bug praying harder than a heathen
But she was smiling like the sole survivor in a lifeboat
Said, "If I jump in Junie, do you think this thing will still float?"

'Cause everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low

Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
Everybody went low
