Lyrics
Laughing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wake up I'm staring at the clock
My belly hurts and my head is like a rock
I get up to see what I can see
Furthest I got was my black and white TV
Eyewitness News brought to you at noon
Oh my God guess I got up too soon because
Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you
I didn't mean to wear this disguise
But I can't stand the look in my eyes
Oh I didn't mean to lie
I was doing what I thought was right
Come on walk on down the line
You'll be walking till the end of time because
Oh I feel like laughing
All because of you
