That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

[Verse 1]

Park the car at the side of the road

You should know time's tide will smother you

And I will too

When you laugh about people

Who feel so very lonely

Their only desire is to die

Well, I'm afraid it doesn't make me smile

I wish I could laugh

[Chorus]

But that joke isn't funny anymore

It's too close to home

And it's too near the bone

It's too close to home

And it's too near the bone

More than you'll ever know

[Verse 2]

Kick them when they fall down

Kick them when they fall down

You kick them when they fall down

Kick them when they fall down

You kick them when they fall down

Kick them when they fall down

You kick them when they fall down

Kick them when they fall down

[Chorus]

It was dark as I drove the point home

And on cold leather seats

Well, it suddenly struck me

I just might die

With a smile on my face after all

[Outro]

I've seen this happen in other people's lives

And now it's happening in mine

I've seen this happen in other people's lives

And now it's happening in mine

I've seen this happen in other people's lives

And now it's happening in mine

I've seen this happen in other people's lives (Oh)

And now it's happening in mine (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I've seen this happen in other people's lives (Oh-oh)

And now it's happening in mine (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

Happening in mine, happening in mine (Oh)

Happening in mine, happening in mine (Oh)

I've seen this happen in other people's lives (Oh)

And now, now, now (Oh-oh-oh-oh)

It's happening in mine, happening in mine (Oh-oh)

Now, now, now (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I've seen this happen in other

People's lives and now

It's happening in mine, happening in mine (Oh-oh)

Happening in mine, happening in mine

I've seen this happen in other people's lives (Oh-oh)

And now, now, now

It's happening in mine, in mine, mine

Mine, mine
