Who's Laughing Now

(album: The Knife - 2017)

Made a plan to rule the world
Quit my job and got the girl
Thought I had it figured out
I burned out, lost out
Said you did it from the heart
It was money from the start
Hands out the cookie jar
Time out, lights out

Last call, last call, I hear the phone ring
Last call, last call, and then the wolves sing
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

Where were you when the walls came crashing down?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)
When the castle fell (hey), you were not around
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)
Fast friends, slow to learn, you're the one that just got burned
Wake up, mate (hey), who's laughing now?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)

Gotta prove myself again
Not an ember in the wind
Gonna finish for the win
Knocked down, knocked out
Want to make it back to you
I was shipwrecked, now rescued
Like a lie that's turned to truth
Wise up, wind up

Last call, last call, I hear the phone ring
Last call, last call, and then the wolves sing
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down

Where were you when the walls came crashing down?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)
When the castle fell (hey), you were not around
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)
Fast friends, slow to learn, you're the one that just got burned
Wake up, mate (hey), who's laughing now?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)

This is not the end, no, this is not the end
This is not the end, no, this is not the end
This is not the end, no, this is not the end
This is not the end, no, this is not the end

Where were you when the walls came crashing down?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)
When the castle fell (hey), you were not around
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)
Fast friends, slow to learn, you're the one that just got burned
Wake up, mate (hey), who's laughing now?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh-oh)

This is not the end, no, this is not the end
This is not the end, no, this is not the end
(This is not the end)
