the tiger lillies - croak lyrics
happy ever-afters they are just a joke
forever is a long time it will go up in smoke
there are no happy endings just a few happy times
in youth we are immortal then shocked by our decline
how slowly does the penny drop we’re victims of a joke
quite often realisation is just before we croak
there are no happy ever-afters the stuff of fairy tales
how slowly does it dawn on us that we are born to fail
that’s when we tend to realise what a waste of time
like actors in the worst of plays pointless every line
how slowly does the penny drop we’re victims of a joke
quite often realisation is just before we croak
well often it is praised the sanct-ty of life
a pointless aimless exercise in loss suffering and strife
well when you leave this world i hope you’ve had a laugh
’cause someone’s played a trick on you they f-cked you up the -rs-
how slowly does the penny drop we’re victims of a joke
quite often realisation is just before we croak
it might be in the worst of taste this god’s little joke
but now i have realised it i think it’s time to croak
