The greatest joke
you don't explain
The choke of laughing has
left you half hanged
The moment comes
and goes
but most the day is slow
Good bad or just
getting worse
A sea of faceless murmurs
The crowd likes you like
their kid brother
Can't you feel it spilling
out the sides
The need for change
you can't quite define
Hey now don't take it
to the heart
Hang down and sing
why live when you can die
why live when you can die
Your shining savior
walks beside you
Scuffing your new hallway
in black soled shoes
The model never worked
the life size crashed
and burned
Good bad it's just
getting worse
The days don't hold me
closely
But the matte blue of a
clear sky is crippling
Can't you feel it spilling
out the sides
The need for change
you can't quite define
Hey now don't take it
to the heart
Hang down and sing
why live when you can die
why live when you can die
There's not a better night
So take this
perfect moment
few and far between
I'm nothing but young
possibilities
And still I'm tied to the
tracks of being anything
The clock in your room
says 11 to 11
Kiss your pointer finger
and press against it
'Cuz false hope is true
heaven
Your false hope is my
true heaven
'Cuz false hope is true
heaven
Your false hope is my
true heaven
It'd be a good show
if I didn't already know
the joke
Can't you feel it spilling
out the sides
The need for change
you can't quite define
Hey now don't take it
to the heart
Hang down and sing
why live when you can die
why live when you can die
why live when you can die
why live when you can die
why live when you can die
