Last Laugh

Blue Rodeo

I should have seen through it but you were so intent

the nervous breakdown on an overworked bed

you couldn't wait to get over the edge



you were drunk on the silver

when he took your crown

he took from you everything that wasn't tied down

well you said he was an angel

with the chains of gold

too bad they weren't strong enough to hold



the clock of world is just a dream

still I shouldn't be jealous of the ones who lay flowers at your feet

yeah my desire has finally put you out of reach



you were drunk on the silver

when he took your crown

he took from you everything that wasn't tied down

well you said he was an angel

with the chains of gold

too bad they weren't strong enough to hold



now all your saviours wait their turn in line

while you sit in the corner

and drink yourself blind



the last laugh has finally been had

but it's not what you think

the last laugh has finally been had

and it don't taste so sweet



now you're finally on your own

last thing he said to you was see you around



you were drunk on the silver

you were drunk on the silver

you were drunk on the silver

now you're going to leave me with the last laugh
