That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

And now it's happening in mine

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

And now it's happening in mine

Happening in mine

Happening in mine

Happening in mine

Happening in mine

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

And now, now, now it's happening in mine

(I've seen this happen)

Happening in mine

Oh... now, now

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

And now it's happening in mine

(Happen)

Happening in mine

Happening in mine

Happening in mine

Happening in mine

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

And now, now, now it's happening in mine

Happening in mine

Mine, mine

Happening in mine...
