That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore

Well, it suddenly struck me
I just might die with a smile on my face after all

It's too close to home
You kick them when they fall down
When you laugh about people
More than you'll ever know

And now it's happening in mine
Time's tide will smother you
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
You kick them when they fall down

Kick them when they fall down
But that joke isn't funny anymore
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
It's too close to home
You kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
I've seen this happen in other people's lives

And on cold leather seats
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
Their only desire is to die
Happening in mine, happening in mine

Happening in mine, happening in mine
And it's too near the bone

And now it's happening in mine
And now it's happening in mine
Who feel so very lonely
Happening in mine

It doesn't make me smile
And now, now, now, it's happening in mine
Well, I'm afraid
And now, now, now, it's happening in mine
Happening in mine, now, now
And it's too near the bone
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And now it's happening in mine
Kick them when they fall down
I've seen this happen in other people's lives
And I will too
And now it's happening in mine, oh
Kick them when they fall down
It was dark as I drove the point home

And now it's happening in mine
I wish I could laugh

Happening in mine, happening in mine
