Blue Rodeo Last Laugh Lyrics

I should have seen through it but you were so intent
A 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
Well, you said he was an angel with the chains of gold
Too bad they weren't strong enough to hold

The clock of the 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
Well, you said he was an angel with the chains of gold Too bad they weren't strong enough to hold

Now all your saviors 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, you were drunk on the silver
You were drunk on the silver
Now you're going to leave me with the last laugh
