Lyrics
Ricochet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
"And it's okay to laugh about it"
I said, "it's okay to laugh about it"
Runnin' twice as fast to stay in
the same place
Don't catch my breath until the end
of the day
And I'd rather be shot in the face
Than hear what you're going to say
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
And who'll be laughing then?
You'll come up empty again
There's no reason, no explanation, so play
the violins
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it's just hilarious
You beat me every time you blink
If only I did not have to think
Think about you crackin' a smile
Think about you all the while
One day the wind will come up
And you'll come up empty again
And who'll be laughing then?
You'll come up empty again
There's no reason, no explanation, so play
the violins
On the ricochet, it's going to hit you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
You can laugh at me, when it misses you
It's always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it's just hilarious
