I've Gotta Laugh

They call it a perversion but I think it's kinda groovy
I'll never stop that yearning for the degradation that moves me
I'll give you those old promises and sweeten them with lies
But we both know temptation will result in our demise

So what the hell, who'll ever know
In all my lies I'll never show-The hypocrite who hides behind this mask
My feeling's gone, and the joke's been told-Sensations numbed as I grow old
When I look at you and me I've gotta laugh

Keep repeating tired old jokes in everything we say
No matter how you roll the dice it always ends the same
The clichés we try to avoid form framework for our lives
And as a final insult we become who we despise

So what the hell, who'll ever know?
In all my lives I'll never show-The liar who resides behind this mask
My feeling's gone, and the joke's been told-Sensations numbed as I grow old
When I look at you and me I've gotta laugh

I'll bring you joy, I'll be your toy
I'll always be your ever loving whore
You don't own me, but you can touch me
You'll never know me, you cannot love me
