"Ricochet" is a song by Faith No More, released as the second single from their fifth studio album King for a Day... Fool for a Lifetime. It has been stated that it was written the day of Kurt Cobain's death and is sometimes titled "Nirvana" on the band's setlists.
All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
"and it`s okay to laugh about it"
I said, "it`s okay to laugh about it"
Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don`t catch my breath to the end of the day
And I`d rather be shot in the face
Than hear what you`re going to say
One day the wind will come up
And you`ll come up empty again
And who`ll be laughing then?
You`ll come up empty again
There`s no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
It`s always funny until someone gets hurt...
And then it`s just hilarious!
You beat me every time you blink
If only I did not have to think
Think about you crackin` a smile
Think about you all the while
One day the wind will come up
And you`ll come up empty again
And who`ll be laughing then?
You`ll come up empty again
There`s no reason, no explanation, so play the violin
On the ricochet - it`s gonna hit you
It`s always funny until someone gets hurt
You can laugh at me - when it misses you
It`s always funny until someone gets hurt
And then it`s just hilarious!
