The Joke
It takes a while, to cut the diamond face
drawn on a desperate man, yeah
- coolin' my hips to judge lines in the terrain
i'll suffer your smile where i stand
because hey, - this one's on me
- try to lend a hand and i'll shoot
this one's on me
alright
been standin' around, tell-no-tales corner
- thinking, somehow there's got to be a blessing here
but if i move, my lip's split, - my next step is broken glass
you left me a wish, baby it's still lyin' where you passed
because hey, - this one's on me
every letter
this one's on me
alright
and it's hard to fake
- the joke, it was all lost on me
whatever is on
this one's on me
i'm bearin' down now, yeah man, i'm ultra-montane
i spent the night, thinkin' 'sun!'
you will, again, live to remember the midnight-tryst
and i still may end up with some extra lines on my wrists
because hey, this one's on me
try to lend a hand and i'll shoot
this one's on me
alright
and it's hard to fake
the joke?, - it was all lost on me
whatever is on
this one's on me
listen
this one's on me
this one's on me
