That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore - 2008 Remaster

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, you kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You, you kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
You, 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
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
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
Happening in mine, now, now, now

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

I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now, now, now, it's happening in mine
Mine, mine, mine, oh
