The Joke Explained Songtext / Lyric

I never held your gaze

I never know my place

Ah I stare at the eyes staring at my face

It always ends in a tie

There is no meeting the divine

I cry at the joke explained

Ah but if I had known

If I had known

If I had known

I would've never believed

I'll never smoke my chain

Whoever measures the crack

Ah they can have my broken chest

It's a staring contest

In a hall of beers

I swim tears

But I

Don't ever cry

Ah if I had known

If I had known

If I had known

I would've never, believed



I never know how to tie a noose

My pair of parished in the pews

I climbed back into the yoke

It always ends in a tie

There is no getting the divine

I cry at the joke explained

Ah If I had known

If I had known

If I had known

I would've never believed

I would've never believed

I would've never believed
