Well I heard the joke that had been spoke sometime before this
In a bar on the downside
It was smart it was a lark
And it was told as a true story
Just to put you on the inside
And whispers are turned into full-blown novels
For even the vision wobbles as you fall into line
Talk cheap but no one can really hide it
Even as they deny it happens all the time
Then they tell you how they love you
And that they really care
And now they’ve burst the bubble
How they have to be elsewhere.
Well I heard the joke that had been spoke over a cocktail
In a bar on the upside
It was slick told by a dick
And it was sold as true story
Just to keep you on the outside
And whispers are turned into full-blown novels
They all become swimsuit models, the weather turns out fine
Swear blind, the mountain becomes a pebble
They laugh at the cloth cap rebel, as they sit down to dine
Then they tell you how they love you
And how much they really care
And now they’ve burst your bubble
They’ll have to be elsewhere.
