The Joke's On You - Peter Himmelman
You go down like a stone
that is dropped in the ocean
so aware of the motion
the descending to a place
that's so alone now your weak
and your words only mumbles
like the hero that tumbles
semiconcious just enough to know that...
this time the jokes on you babe
this time the jokes on you babe
this time the jokes on you
hey you should know that you can't fly forever
meybe twice maybe never
cause that something always breaks
and it comes down its a shock
when you finally hit bottom
and you friends, if you still got 'em
will assemble at you feet
to tell you that...
this time the jokes on you babe
this time the jokes on you babe
this time the jokes on you
do you feel like starting over?
do you feel like something died?
are you desperate for the pieces of you pride?
pray for time let it heal
let it change your direction
let offer protection
from the madness dark and sickly
in you now it will pass
I will bring you absolution
it's my humble contribution
better than someone spitting on you
this time the jokes on you babe
this time the jokes on you babe
this time the jokes on you
