It's Not Funny

These hands are shaking like
Two blocks of wood
If I was dead they'd still be good
For setting up a weathervane
To point the direction from which it came
For setting up a box to put a body
Well it's alone again, it's on the ground
I stack 'em up and I put 'em down
And when I'm done I pay the check
And wipe the sweat off of my neck
And my nose is red from crying
But it's not funny

Oh, last night I had a dream that I shot a crow
And when I woke up I wished that I had
'Cause the last few weeks, I've been living so low
And my prosperity, it was so sad
And when I saw that little bird laying there
I was miles and miles away
I had the world in the palm of my hand
And it's not funny

Ah, and you was like my mama
And I only wanted to be looked after
But I didn't know that you wanted it too
Oh, I would have killed enough for the both of us
One for me and one for you

And it goes over and over, I was standing in the bar
And the girl sitting next to me said "I know who you are"
"You was here last week, you were sneezing in the sink"
"I was praying that your teardrops wouldn't end up in my drink"
And I said "Well alright, but do you remember when"
"How we used to kiss each other's throats?"
She dropped a penny into my coke
And it's not funny (Bones grow)
It's not funny (Hair grows)
Oh, it's not funny (Rain falls)
No, it's not funny (Rainbow)
No, it's not
Our love
Sweet love
Old love
That's enough
Bones glow
Hair grows
Rain falls
Rainbow
Bones grow
Hair grows
Rain falls
Rainbow
