We can write the chapters of existance starting now,

Starting now

We'll throw it all down

I can see the shadows in the water on the ground,

On the ground

They follow me around



Behind every story there's a quick end

Behind every smile there's a clown

To understand I guess I'd have to be a dead man

Trying not to laugh out loud



I can hear a lonely operator on the phone,

On the phone

She can't call home

Over seas the burns are third degree

And the collection plate's been passed and receved by me

I wish I could tell you all you children why your here,

Why your here

We'd all sing along

Is there something cause theres no way of knowing till your gone,

When I'm gone I'll prove you all wrong



Behind every woman is a good man

Trying not to put the head out

To understand I guess I'd have to be a dead man

Trying not to laugh out loud



Behind every story there's a quick end

Behind every smile there's a clown

To understand I guess I'd have to be a dead man

Trying not to laugh out



Behind every woman is a good man

Trying not to put the head out

To understand I guess I'd have to be a dead man

Trying not to laugh out loud



Trying not to laugh out loud

Trying not to laugh out loud
