Joking Lyrics

you said the world was magic

i was wide-eyed and laughing

we were dancing up to the bright side

forget about your ego

forget about your pride

and you will never have to compromise

and you were only joking

you were only joking brother

we talked about our mothers

kissed the wounds of our fathers

i could have been your sister

i would have been your brother

you kissed me like i was a soldier

headed for a war

i dying man but i don't know what for

and you were only joking

you were only joking brother

you were only joking

(wide-eyed and laughing)

you were only joking brother

(dancing up to the bright side)

gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet

i bruised my heels on the swollen street

we were girls in bars

boys on the town

bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd

you said good friends are hard to come by

i laughed and bought you a beer

it's too corny to cry

well sentiment given

oh sentiment lost

you shake it off with a smirk and a toss

and you were only joking

you were only joking brother

you were only joking

were only joking brother

and you were only joking

(gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet)

you were only joking brother

(i bruised my heels on the swollen street)

you kissed me like a soldier heading for a war

(joking)

i'm a dying man

(you were only joking)

and you were only joking

(don't know what for)

(dying man)

you were only joking brother

(don't know what for)

and you were only

and you were only

and you were only joking

brother

one two three four

ah yeah

sha la

sha la

sha la

sha la

sha la

(wide eyed and laughing)

sha la

(dancing up to the bright side)

sha la

(wide eyed and laughing)

sha la

(dancing up to the bright side)
