That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

Well, I'm afraid
And now it's happening in mine
Happening in mine, now, now
It's too close to home
It was dark as I drove the point home

I've seen this happen in other people's lives
Happening in mine, happening in mine
And now it's happening in mine, oh
I just might die with a smile on my face after all
I wish I could laugh
Kick them when they fall down
And now it's happening in mine
You kick them when they fall down
But that joke isn't funny anymore
You kick them when they fall down
Happening in mine
Kick them when they fall down

Kick them when they fall down

Time's tide will smother you
More than you'll ever know
Who feel so very lonely
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now, now, now, it's happening in mine
And now it's happening in mine

Kick them when they fall down
It doesn't make me smile

I've seen this happen in other people's lives
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And I will too

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

Kick them when they fall down
Well, it suddenly struck me
And now, now, now, it's happening in mine
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And it's too near the bone
And now it's happening in mine

It's too close to home
And it's too near the bone

Their only desire is to die
When you laugh about people
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
You kick them when they fall down
And now it's happening in mine

And on cold leather seats
Happening in mine, happening in mine

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

Happening in mine, happening in mine
