The Tiger Lillies - Croak lyrics
[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 sanctity 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 fucked you up the arse
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
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 sanctity 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 fucked you up the arse
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
