Lyrics LAUGHING BOY - Duran Duran

LAUGHING BOY

Time ain’t gonna wait
For even you my friend
I can’t stay late
I’m looking at the end
Ace high hypnotised
And sucked into that scene
Taking on a 'guise — it was really me
Hard years later
And we’re still hanging on
For the St Jackpot score
That’s never gonna come
Not running away now
Been running all day
But it’s falling apart now
It’s been coming all day
Ooh I have been your laughing boy
I took it on the chin —
Accepted gracefully
And all the heat that you deploy —
Your laughing boy
The more I take — your laughing boy — the more i break
Cooking fires on a beach —
Smoke finger in the sky
Y’know that’s where I should be my
Baby by my side
Good times from the start —
Remember yeh?
= But now
The palace gang’s back to old
Things — that’s my cue —
I’m gettin' out in style
