about

Words & music by Stan Schaffer, from an idea by Alan Moore.

lyrics

Take a picture of yourself when you're all alone
It's a mixture of the help you need and hate you gather
Don't you remember, back before you dove into your doom?
A padded room isn't what you were after -- where is the laughter now?

Taking lightly, ten or more before the night is through
Won't the Knight be right behind you with a score to settle?
Never-ending is a battle in warring mind
Swords unshined, leaving smiles even after -- where is the laughter?

Maybe it all hinges on tonight, maybe this is our last chance
To work this bloody mess out
If there's an end in sight, you say
That all it takes is one bad day to turn the sanest man your way
Forever after ... where is the laughter now?

Day is ending, bringing drops of rain in tens of thousands
Maybe cleansing, washing all the pain of death away ...
But everlasting is a battle in a warring mind
Swords unshined, leaving smiles even after ...
Where is the laughter now?
