Jordan Zevon - The Joke's on Me lyrics

Did you ever take a moment just to stop and look around and found You might have missed a meeting or two? All the smiling faces of the strangers that surround me And I start to think I don't have a clue Is it ignorance or bliss that fuels the never-ending happiness That I've always seemed to elude? Is it them? Is it me? Yank the starter on the litany And try to keep from coming unglued It looks like the joke's on me Cause I'm the only one that isn't really having fun It looks like the joke's on me It's only just begun Fade in, waiting on… A ma**ive mug of coffee That I'm hoping will arouse me From a zombie like state I've accrued It's another somber morning Masturbate and greet the dawn in As I'm yawning through the self abuse Pick a suit that isn't stained and Floor it down the freeway I MUST NOT BE LATE Cause the boss is out of Vicodin And now the real pain begins So why's he laughing? Cause it looks like the joke's on me Since I'm the only one that isn't really having fun It looks like the joke's on me I signed the dotted line To be the perfect punch line And nobody told me That I be the folly Cause it looks like the jokes on me The agony of defeat With a catchy melody Standing dead on my feet Maybe someone should bury me A natural born loser Smothered in humor It looks like the joke's on me Stumbling down the road of life Ignoring all the good advice I never had the sense to use But we've all got a path to choose And stupid is as stupid do's Maybe I was born to amuse It looks like the joke's on me Cause I'm the only one that isn't really having fun It looks like the joke's on me Forget humility and I'll provide the comedy It looks like the joke's on me You check my spine you'll find a burden and a kick me sign It looks like the joke's on me I'm just a bland mime yanking on a fake line I'll keep on pulling But who am I fooling? Cause it looks like the joke's on me
