Between A Laugh And A Tear |
| When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in |
| And your adolescent dreams are gone |
| Through the days you feel a little used up |
| And you don’t know where your energy’s gone wrong |
| It’s just your soul feelin' a little downhearted |
| Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live |
| You count your friends all on one finger |
| I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live |
| Between a laugh and a tear |
| Smile in the mirror as you walk by |
| Between a laugh and a tear |
| And that’s as good as it can get for us |
| And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin' |
| When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you |
| You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile |
| And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you |
| And it don’t seem to mean anything to you now |
| Just try to live each and every precious moment |
| Don’t be discouraged by the future forget the past |
| That’s old advise but it’ll be good to you |
| I know there’s a balance see it when I swing past |
| Between a laugh and a tear |
| Smile in the mirror as you walk by |
| Between a laugh and a tear |
| And that’s as good as it can get for us |
| And there ain’t no reason to stop tryin' |
| When paradise can no longer amuse you… |
