Long Running Joke Lyrics

It's a long running joke
And I'm sorry I'd croaked if I lied, if I lied.
We'd all just keep smiling the same.

So you put on your suits
And you're all in cahoots but who cares?
Silent prayers won't keep you from going insane.

Or maybe they will, if just for a time,
They could say it was God, or something divine.
You could blame it on flesh-eating monsters
Or even yourself, even yourself.
La di da.


Well, it's a long running joke,
And I'll run 'til I croak, God know why.
God knows why, we all keep on feeding the shame.

So you put on your suits
And you're all in cahoots but who cares?
Silent prayers won't keep you from feeling the pain.

Or maybe they will, 'cos you know what they say,
When there's a gun to your head,
You should know how to pray.
And when Death comes a' knockin',
He says that we're all just the same.
We're all just the same.
La di da.

So I'll put on the suit,
If you promise to shoot when I'm chased.
Sins erased, and bound for those big pearly gates.

Or maybe they will, 'cos you know what they say,
When there's a gun to your head,
You should know how to pray.
And when Death comes a' knockin',
He says that we're all just the same.
We're all just the same.
La di da.

We're all just the same.

Nataly Dawn is American singer, songwriter and musician Natalie Knutsen (born October 29, 1986). She is one half of the duo Pomplamoose with her husband Jack Conte and released her first solo album, How I Knew Her, on Nonesuch Records on February 12, 2013.

She started off in L.A., moved to France at the age of ten, spent a few years in Belgium and then scurried on back to California to pursue an education in art and French literature.

She makes music as often as possible, to keep herself sane and happy. She dabbles around with piano, guitar and bass (her favorite instrument), but does not consider herself an expert at any of them. Mostly she enjoys singing and inventing odd harmonies.

She entered the YouTube music movement thanks to her boyfriend, Jack Conte, and together they have started a collaboration called Pomplamoose. Their music can be heard at either their official Myspace or official YouTube. Nataly is still in denial about wanting to be a full-time musician, but deep down inside she knows that there is nothing that makes her happier than making art and sharing it with lovely listeners such as yourself.

In addition to her music being available in CD form, songs can be downloaded from her official Myspace myspace.com/natalydawn and videos (and occasionally Vlogs) can be found on her official YouTube page youtube.com/NatalyDawn.
