ISN’T IT FUNNY
Isn’t it funny
how all of your dreams
come apart at the seams?
Isn’t it funny?
Isn’t it just hilarious?
And isn’t it funny,
how all of your plans,
run off in the sand?
Isn’t it funny?
Isn’t it just hilarious?
A merman is sitting
On a rock by the sea
With a slow foamy grin
And a grim salty laughter.
Maniacally cackling,
Sarcastically clapping.
Now all of your hopes
And all your ambitions
Drift apart in a fission
Like frayed ends of ropes
And a ghost ship float by
With unbearable sorrow
so incredibly hollow.
Isn’t it just hilarious?
Isn’t it funny
how all of your dreams
come apart at the seams?
Isn’t it funny?
A friend of mine introduced me to this song while we backpacked around Europe a few years ago. It turned into our theme song, and yes we did get fucked up in Hamburg on a Sunday Night! stainer
