Joker's Wild Lyrics - Blue Rodeo

You're feeling over the hill 

Chasin' powder and pills 

But you don't mind the taste 

Of the slow burnin' waste 

Until you feel like trash 

Ya might as well have a gas 

Until you feel like trash 

Ya might as well have a blast 

Deep down in your heart 

Well, you know you can't hide 

Still you know what you're runnin' from 

Better than I 

And when they ask you why 

You say the joker is wild 

And when they ask you why 

You say the joker is wild 

When your skin starts to crawl 

And your fingers twitch 

And your veins are screaming 

For some kinda fix 

Well, they ask you why 

You say the joker's wild 

If there was only a way 

To make you understand 

That the game that you're playing 

Has gotten out of hand 

And when they ask you why 

You say the joker is wild 

And when they ask you why 

You say the joker is wild
