Just A Joke

Nothing gold can stay

Be that as it may

Light through the eye of a needle in the night

I've been beaten but I still fight

The outsider in the rain

The outsider in the sun

The outsider wherever I go

And it was good when I felt so young

But now you follow me in my dreams

You put a bullet in my heart

Silently I scream and I'd cry

But I'm too tough

I'm too lost, I'm too bright

I'm too wide-eyed in the night

Vodka and sprite, cigarette smoke

The words I love you

Were Just a joke, just a joke

Just a joke, just a joke

Just a joke to you, like my feelings don't matter

A straight-up loser with my heart on a platter

But it helps when I'm asses that are fatter

And watching you dudes way down off the ladder

It's pathetic, A sore sad sight to be seen again

The game ends when the king falls

Not when a pawn takes the queen's

So as I play chess, you can play checkers

I wouldn't expect any more love letters

Cause I'm too tough, I'm too bright

I'm too wide-eyed in the night

Vodka and sprite, cigarette smoke

The words I love you

Were just a joke, just a joke

Just a joke, just a joke

Nothing gold can stay

Be that as it may

Light through the eye of a needle in the night

I've been beaten but I still fight

The outsider in the rain

The outsider in the sun

The outsider wherever I go

And it was good when I felt so young

But now you follow me in my dreams

You put a bullet in my heart

Silently I scream and I'd cry

But I'm too tough

I'm too lost, I'm too bright

I'm too wide-eyed in the night

Vodka and sprite, cigarette smoke

The words I love you

Were just a joke, just a joke

Just a joke, just a joke
