Last Laugh Lyrics - Casino - Blue Rodeo

I should have seen through it but you were so intent 

The nervous breakdown on an overworked bed 

You couldn't wait to get over the edge 

You were drunk on the silver 

When he took your crown 

He took from you everything that wasn't tied down 

Well you said he was an angel 

With the chains of gold 

Too bad they weren't strong enough to hold 

The clock of world is just a dream 

Still I shouldn't be jealous of the ones who lay flowers at your feet 

Yeah my desire has finally put you out of reach 

You were drunk on the silver 

When he took your crown 

He took from you everything that wasn't tied down 

Well you said he was an angel 

With the chains of gold 

Too bad they weren't strong enough to hold 

Now all your saviors wait their turn in line 

While you sit in the corner 

And drink yourself blind 

The last laugh has finally been had 

But it's not what you think 

The last laugh has finally been had 

And it don't taste so sweet 

Now you're finally on your own 

Last thing he said to you was see you around 

You were drunk on the silver 

You were drunk on the silver 

You were drunk on the silver 

Now you're going to leave me with the last laugh
