Park the car at the side of the roadYou should knowTime’s tide will smother youAnd I will too
When you laugh about people who feel soVery lonelyTheir only desire is to dieWell, I’m afraidIt doesn’t make me smileI wish I could laugh
But that joke isn’t funny anymoreIt’s too close to homeAnd it’s too near the boneIt’s too close to homeAnd it’s too near the boneMore than you’ll ever know
Kick them when they fall down
Kick them when they fall down
It was dark as I drove the point home
And on cold leather seatsWell, it suddenly struck meI just might die with a smile on myFace after all

I’ve seen this happen in other people’sLivesAnd now it’s happening in mine
