I thought we had a good relationship   the kind you can hang your hat on   now I just hang on every word you say   the ones you hang yourself on      I think we used to communicate   the one thing we could rely on   now all you have is your communique   and that's not much to fall back on      I think we used to have so much fun    insanity versus drinking   now you impulsively display your thoughts   without too much thinking      don't think I've ever seen you frown before   it doesn't mean I'm not happy   now you're reciting your jokes alone   without too much laughing      oh no is it too much for me to take   or is it over my head      it gets dark as the spotlight shines   showing brick wall as background   no matter how many crickets you hear   I know you'll never back down      you start believing your excuses   the audience is too simple   I guess they need to know when to laugh   with a snare drum and cymbal      I'm sure the crowd thinks the same as me    we can see right through you   they know exactly when to loathe   without the help of a drum cue      well thanks for coming out tonight   you get applause because it's required   but more quiet than the earlier guys   I guess everyone's tired      oh no is it too much   for you to take   or is it over your head      you're in over your head      with friends like them   it's not a laughing matter at all
