That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore Lyrics

     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 other 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
