The Joke Explained

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

I would've never believed

I would've never believed
