That joke isn't funny anymore

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
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
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
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
