When the Laughter Stops - Farse

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
