Lyrics When the Laughter Stops - Farse

When the Laughter Stops

Riding on and on the coat tails of
We need to figure the way to the key
Two have it lost in love
Beneath the backdrop of some fifties show
We tried to set the wheels in motion
But the breaks got stuck
But it’s been something since I worried
The kind of people you were with
I guess I felt left out, insecure
Now when did this small talk get so big?
And while I know weve both changed
Extravagant displays too late this house of cards has tipped
And as the plot thickens becomes the twist
House of cards it’s in the ether
I wouldn’t want to be there when the laughter stops
Guest book misleading of the names etched, there seldom here to claim
Well we turned hands, pushed but whe could not break
Guess what’s behing closed doors?
Enigma remains
I thought I’d turned the corner it’s like I jumped right back
Climbing the steeple, out of reach I hear a slow dance
Before we used to bitch and now a fast dance
A painting that goes through the edges of the framing and something you should
of said
A balancing act upon a ledge as we pull back
Tightropes across buildings, quiet roads, symptoms, fallings, cast off,
calling adieu
