We've got to stop laughing like this -
someone might see us
And wonder why we're still giggling
When the whole world is weeping.

We've got to stop laughing like this -
someone might see us
(Did I tell you
That you have a clown's face,
That your ears are too big for your head,
Poking through your hair
Like curious children,
Begging to be nibbled at?)
