The Joke Explained

Wilco

I never held your gaze I never know my place Oh, I stare at the eyes Starin' at my face It always ends in a tie There is no needing the divine I cry at the joke explained Oh, but if I had known, if I had known If I had known, I would've never believed I never smoked my chains Whoever measures the crest Oh, they can have my broken chest It's a staring contest In a hall of mirrors I sweat tears, but I don't ever cry Oh, but if I had known, if I had known If I had known, I would've never believed I never knelt at a noose My pair perished in the pews I climbed back into the yoke It always ends in a tie There is no hitting the design I cry at the joke explained Oh, but if I had known, if I had known If I had known, I would've never believed I would've never believed I would've never believed (x2)
