That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore

Lyrics

[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 [Instrumental Outro]
