Lyrics of
Everybody Talks

Everybody Talks by Neon Trees was inspired by the nostalgia of the 60s music and movies with a modern twist. The lyrics discuss how rumors can spread quickly, almost like a contagious disease. The band aimed to capture the feeling of being drawn to someone through whispers and chitchat.

Hey baby, won't you look my way?
I can be your new addiction
Hey baby, what you gotta say?
All you're giving me is fiction
I'm a sorry sucker and this happens all the time
I found out that everybody talks
Everybody talks, everybody talks

It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I could hear the chit chat
Take me to your love shack
Mama's always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back

Hey honey, you could be my drug
You could be my new prescription
Too much could be an overdose
All this trash talk make me itchin'
Oh my mouth, yeah, everybody talks, everybody talks
N.C.

It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I could hear the chit chat
Take me to your love shack
Mama's always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back

Never thought I'd live
To see the day
When everybody's words got in the way


Hey sugar, show me all your love
All you're giving me is friction
Hey sugar, what you gotta say?

It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
And then she made my lips hurt
I could hear the chit chat
Take me to your love shack
Mama's always gotta backtrack
When everybody talks back

Everybody talks, everybody talks
Everybody talks, everybody talks
Everybody talks, everybody talks back
It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
Everybody talks, everybody talks back Uh!
