Blue Rodeo - Last Laugh lyrics

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 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 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
