After the Last Laugh

Here out past the tracks where the drunks collapse
Old suckers can score on the indigent whores
Way after the last laugh has swollen itself shut
When all that's left are the true beer hall drunks

The elegant whores are waiting inside
One hundred dollars can buy you no time
The teasing diseasing the carnival crowd
Is waiting to blow out of this dead-end town

Down deep in the sludge and the shit and the mud
There's death in the air, and it don't belong there
Where all the stray dogs, junkdogs and demons all tatter and shred
Dispose of the dead and sift right through the crud and the slime

While elegant whores are waiting inside
Your one hundred dollars can buy you no time
Teasing diseasing the carnival crowd
Is waiting to blow out of this dead-end town

After the last laugh has swollen and shrunk
When all that's left are the true beer hall drunks

After the last laugh has swollen and shrunk
When all that's left are the true beer hall drunks

After the last laugh has swollen and shrunk
When all that's left are the true beer hall drunks

After the last laugh has swollen and shrunk
When all that's left are the true beer hall drunks

One more time!
After the last laugh has swollen and shut
When all that's left are the true beer hall drunks
