Blue Rodeo - Joker's Wild lyrics

You're feeling over the hill Chasing powder and pills Still you don't mind the taste Of the slow burning waste Until you feel like trash You might as well have a gas Until you feel that crash You might as well have blast Deep down in your heart You know you can't hide Still you know what you're running from Better than I And when they ask you You say the joker is wild And when they ask you why You say the joker is wild When your skin starts to crawl And your fingers twitch And your veins are screaming For some kinda fix Well they ask you why You say the joker's wild If there was only a way To make you understand That the game you're playing Has gotten out of hand And when they ask you why You way the joker is wild And when they ask you why You say the joker is wild
