The Joke of Life Lyrics by Tacocat

This Mess Is a Place

2019

[Verse 1]
I can only say how it felt to me
Irony falls short of the real thing
The joke is that the joke is already a joke
Forgot to put the name on the envelope
[Pre-Chorus]
No space left in between
When the pros and the cons are the same thing
Can’t tell the nightmare from the dream
[Chorus]
I was hoping you could tell me the joke, the joke of life
I used to know it, but that was the other time
[Verse 2]
Got a memory like a three-eyed fish
Devolve to adapt, adapt to forget
Think hard enough it’ll swallow you up
So just sip your lies from your sippy cup
[Pre-Chorus]
No space left in between
When the pros and the cons are the same thing
Can’t tell the nightmare from the dream
[Chorus]
I was hoping you could tell me the joke, the joke of life
I used to know it, but that was the other time
[Verse 3]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one’s not fair
JK, I eat men like you like air
[Pre-Chorus]
The joke was never really a joke
Only laughed so we wouldn’t choke
No net beneath the tightest rope
[Chorus]
I was hoping you could tell me the joke, the joke of life
I used to know it, but that was the other time
I was hoping you could tell me the joke, the joke of life
I used to know it, but that was the other time
