I thought we had a good relationship The kind you can hang your hat on Now I just hang on every word you say The ones you hang yourself on I think we used to communicate The one thing we could rely on Now all you have is your communique And that's not much to fall back on I think we used to have so much fun Insanity versus drinking Now you impulsively display your thoughts Without too much thinking Don't think I've ever seen you frown before It doesn't mean I'm not happy Now you're reciting your jokes alone Without too much laughing Oh no is it too much for me to take Or is it over my head It gets dark as the spotlight shines Showing brick wall as background No matter how many crickets you hear I know you'll never back down You start believing your excuses The audience is too simple I guess they need to know when to laugh With a snare drum and cymbal I'm sure the crowd thinks the same as me We can see right through you They know exactly when to loathe Without the help of a drum cue Well thanks for coming out tonight You get applause because it's required But more quiet than the earlier guys I guess everyone's tired Oh no is it too much For you to take Or is it over your head You're in over your head With friends like them It's not a laughing matter at all
