Lyrics

In a mixed up wicked dream I kissed her cold dead lips

And now I'm crying

All the poker chips won't let me forget the pistol whips

And now I'm dying



Baby - you're hurting my weak brainchild

Understand - how all my feelings got misfiled

Listen to the fireworks of my soul

See how I lose any bladder control



All I want is to hear somebody laugh again

But I wouldn't know where or when to begin



I'm sleepwalking along the nights of a lost career

And now I'm shaking

Stricken with a kind of creepy panic and full of fear

And now I'm breaking



Baby - is my life really as shallow as this

Now hear - it's meaningful prospects that I miss

Listen to words being nothing but idle talk

See how I'm barely able to walk



All I want is to hear somebody laugh again

But I wouldn't know where or when to begin



I am waiting on a parade that since long has passed by

Like killing oneself before an empty room and then refusing to die

All I want is to hear somebody laugh again

But I wouldn't know where or when to begin
