"Running Joke" as written by Troy Dean Van Leeuwen, Joshua Michael Homme and Joey Castillo....
When I was a little boy
I looked under the stairs
The king and the pawns
Were caught unawares
Standing in the shadows
A whisperer to be
Just fishing in the darkness
Oh, possibilities
Just look at you now, yeah...
Look at you now
Yeah, oh
Look at you now.
Among such style and grace,
Our highest hopes
I'm standing still, the running joke
Where goes the warm embrace
It fades without return
Appears to slip through fingertips
And burn
Just look at you now, oh...
Look at you now, oh...
Look at you now, oh...
Look at you now, oh...
Now...
I looked under the stairs
The king and the pawns
Were caught unawares
Standing in the shadows
A whisperer to be
Just fishing in the darkness
Oh, possibilities
Just look at you now, yeah...
Look at you now
Yeah, oh
Look at you now.
Among such style and grace,
Our highest hopes
I'm standing still, the running joke
Where goes the warm embrace
It fades without return
Appears to slip through fingertips
And burn
Just look at you now, oh...
Look at you now, oh...
Look at you now, oh...
Look at you now, oh...
Now...
