Cosmic Joke (1975 Studio Version) Lyrics by David Carradine

Grasshopper

1975

[Intro]
*Laughter*
I'm
*Laughter*
[Verse 1]
I'm not afraid to die
But I'm afraid
To live a lie
Add up the passing years
That I've dried up with my tears
It's hard to tell the wheat
From the chaff
They say it's just a great big cosmic joke
But don't you know
It always hurts when I laugh *laughter*
[Chorus]
It's just a great big cosmic joke
It's just a great big cosmic joke
It's enough to make you laugh
Until you cry *laughter*
It's just a great big cosmic joke
Don't you know
It's just a poke
In the ribs
From that Guy
In the sky
[Post-Chorus]
*Laughter*
[Verse 2]
So with my foot in my mouth
I guess I'll head for the south
With the birds
Some last words:
"Don't despair
'Cause you're losing your hair"
[Chorus]
It's just a great big cosmic joke
It's just a grеat big cosmic joke
It’s enough to make you laugh
Until you cry *laughtеr*
It's just a great big cosmic joke
Don't you know
It's just a poke
In the ribs
From that Guy
In the sky
[Post-Chorus]
*Laughter*
[Outro]
Don't you get it?
*Laughter*
*Sigh*
