[Verse 1]
I am the laughing man
At the side of the bed who extends his hand
I tell you I'll make you smile
I lurch over you and cough up black bile

[Verse 2]
You grip my palm so tight
But not too tight, you squeeze just right
It feels so good to give in
It's been a while, where's this feeling been?

[Chorus]
Gonna take a terrible ride
Crawl through the darkness tonight
Alone and moving faster, faster
Speak to me, darling
While you claw at the sky
Alone and dying faster, faster

[Chorus]
Gonna take a terrible ride
Crawl through the darkness tonight
Alone and moving faster, faster
Speak to me, darling
While you claw at the sky
Alone and dying faster, faster
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I am the laughing man
At the side of the bed who extends his hand
I tell you I'll make you smile
I lurch over you and cough up black bile

[Verse 4]
You grip my palm so tight
But not too tight, you squeeze just right
It feels so good to give in
It's been a while, where's this feeling been?

[Chorus]
Gonna take a terrible ride
Crawl through the darkness tonight
Alone and moving faster, faster
Speak to me, darling
While you claw at the sky
Alone and dying faster, faster

[Chorus]
Gonna take a terrible ride
Crawl through the darkness tonight
Alone and moving faster, faster
Speak to me, darling
While you claw at the sky
Alone and dying faster, faster
[Chorus]
Gonna take a terrible ride
Crawl through the darkness tonight
Alone and moving faster, faster
Speak to me, darling
While you claw at the sky
Alone and dying faster, faster
