Did you ever wake up in the morning With a freight-train running through your head An empty whiskey bottle by your pillow And a burned out unfinished cigarette The night went up in smoke Life is but a joke man But I see nobody laughing Did you ever live a day Like the next day would never come Blood's dripping on the floor, but who cares Who needs you anyway You're a stranger to yourself And this ain't no joke man But I can't stop laughing [chorus] Greedy, angry people make me Run around in circles backwards Down the lonely road that keeps me Run around in circles How I want to try again Excuse me can you lead me I just want to try again Excuse me can you lead the way Just take me by the hand How I want to Did you ever find yourself drowning In a dark and crowded bar The barman keeps on pouring and you're kissing everyone The night will never end 'Cause my horse is still saddled up That's why I am still laughing [chorus]
