lyrics

What kind of cruel joke are you playing on us?
What kind of cruel joke are you making this up?
To give us this flesh and eternal mind
Give us this flesh and so little time
I know I’ve been speaking out of line
Loneliness sits down with me too long on the vine

What kind of cruel joke to send her to me?
What kind of cruel joke to once be happy
But she was set apart by too many years
What kind of cruel joke to send in these tears
I know I could see it differently
But loneliness sits down way too often with me

I see your picture and I fill with lust
I see you picture and it’s turning to dust
Your beauty it was strong, your beauty was clear
I see your picture, after all these years, slowly disappear
I should never have opened up that box
I guess it just was not meant to be locked

What kind of cruel joke are you playing on us?
What kind of cruel joke are you making this up?
To give us this flesh and eternal mind
Give us this flesh and so little time
