Lyrics


1. I WILL STILL BE LAUGHING

Doorways open up and close
More ways to a punch line
They're all laughing at your clothes
Standing in the lunch line

You're the talk of the town
'Cause you're up, then you're down
It's a cycle, I've found
It always comes around

But I will still be laughing
Yes, I will still be laughing

Air raids in the afternoon
The children are playing
Switchblades, colored red balloons
No one hears you praying

And it comes back to you
All the things that you do
They'll come looking for you
They'll come looking for you

But I will still be laughing
Yes, I will still be laughing

Doorways lead to other rooms
Always leave you lying
Face down in a stranger's tomb
Didn't know you were dying

And you rise and you fall
And you wait for the call
You're watching the walls
You're watching the walls

But I will still be laughing
I will still be laughing
Yes, I will still be laughing
I will still be laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing

Laughing

I will still be laughing
Yes, I will still be laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing

Laughing


2. LONELY FOR YOU

Barefoot and pregnant she tries not to bend
The ear of the doctor's not much of a friend
The doctor's on location missing his kids
And wondering where she went to live

Spend time alone and look after your life
Remember your loved ones, your boyfriends, your wives
And if you are lonely and she's lonely too
Then she will stay lonely for you

Yes, she will stay lonely for you

Come what may, come someday
And she will stay lonely for you

Patiently waiting for taxis to come
To take you away from all you have become
The driver tells stories like he's your best friend
And you hope the ride never ends

To all of the ones who have got no one else
Who keep their own time and look after themselves
Someday you'll meet someone lonely as you
And he will stay lonely for you

Yes, he will stay lonely for you

Come what may, come someday
And I? I will stay lonely for you

I will stay lonely for you


3. LOSIN' IT

Go ahead, spit it out, I can take it
Don't do this don't do that, try and fake it
I, I, I have seen it all

Tell me there's something wrong, make me see it
How I try, I must be wrong, it must be me
I, I, I've been wrong before
And I confess, that I am having a hard time
And I confess, that your hard time's harder than mine

When it's over (when it's over)
I'm coming over
Use your shoulder
Soon be over

But I'm losin' it, losin' it, losin' it
Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it

Suck it up rip it out, still I’m learnin'
Light it up, put it out, keep it burnin'
I, I, I've been burned before
Come on out I know you can make me happy
Little smile just ahead, make it happen
I, I, I have smiled before
And I confess, that I am having a hard time
And I confess, that your hard time's harder than mine

When it's over (when it's over)
I'm coming over
Use your shoulder
Soon be over

But I'm losin' it, losin' it, losin' it
Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it
Losin' it, losin' it, losin' it

I am having a hard time


4. CANDY FROM A STRANGER

When a young boy wants to die
Thinking he might try taking his own life
And from up, from behind
Put the gun to his side and said:

Give me all your money
Your money or your life
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger

Ca-ca-ca-ca-candy from a stranger

When an old man said he wants to live
Telling the doctor he's got more left to give
Doctor says that you pay or you die

Give me all your money
Money or your life
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger

Ca-ca-ca-ca-candy from a stranger

Give me all your money
Money or your life
Candy from a stranger
Candy from a stranger
