Song | It Only Makes Me Laugh - 1988 Boingo Alive Version |
Artist | Oingo Boingo |
Album | Boingo Alive |
I don't know why I feel this way | |
I don't know if it's right or wrong | |
To laugh at misfortune | |
Darkness can never last too long | |
Every time I think I'm falling | |
And there's nobody around to hold me up | |
And it seems like the world has come to an end | |
I look for miles, but not a face is friendly | |
Then suddenly, a hole opens up in the ground | |
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire | |
I try to jump over, but there's no way | |
The next thing I know, I'm going down | |
Does it hurt? | |
Oh, it really doesn't matter | |
Does it burn? | |
Oh, no, I don't feel a thing | |
Does it sting? | |
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter | |
Does it hurt? | |
Oh, I don't give a damn | |
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom | |
It only makes me laugh | |
Only makes me laugh | |
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom | |
The last time that I fell in love | |
The love was milk and honey | |
But the milk turned sour | |
The woman became a monster | |
And everyone I knew had become a stranger | |
Then the room went black and my luck was spent | |
The floor opened up—down I went | |
Does it hurt? | |
Oh, it really doesn't matter | |
Does it burn? | |
Oh, no, I don't feel a thing | |
Does it sting? | |
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter | |
Does it hurt? | |
Oh, I don't give a damn | |
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom | |
It only makes me laugh | |
Only makes me laugh | |
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom | |
It only makes me laugh | |
Coming right back | |
'Cause you can't keep me down | |
Can't keep me down | |
Oh, in the ground | |
Does it hurt? | |
Oh, it really doesn't matter | |
Does it burn? | |
Oh, I don't feel a thing | |
I don't mind just a little pain | |
Ooh, oh, yeah | |
Whoa.... | |
Remembering when I was a young man | |
How everything seemed to turn against me | |
I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place | |
The sun was covered by a dark cloud | |
And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape | |
The only way to go: straight down | |
I don't know why I feel this way | |
I don't know if it's right or wrong | |
To laugh at misfortune | |
Darkness can never last too long... | |
When you laugh in its face |
I don' t know why I feel this way | |
I don' t know if it' s right or wrong | |
To laugh at misfortune | |
Darkness can never last too long | |
Every time I think I' m falling | |
And there' s nobody around to hold me up | |
And it seems like the world has come to an end | |
I look for miles, but not a face is friendly | |
Then suddenly, a hole opens up in the ground | |
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire | |
I try to jump over, but there' s no way | |

Does it hurt? | |
Oh, it really doesn' t matter | |
Does it burn? | |
Oh, no, I don' t feel a thing | |
Does it sting? | |
Oh, yeah, it really doesn' t matter | |
Does it hurt? | |
Oh, I don' t give a damn | |
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom | |
It only makes me laugh | |
Only makes me laugh | |
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom | |
The last time that I fell in love | |
The love was milk and honey | |
But the milk turned sour | |
The woman became a monster | |
And everyone I knew had become a stranger | |

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom | |
It only makes me laugh | |
Only makes me laugh | |
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom | |
It only makes me laugh | |
Coming right back | |
' Cause you can' t keep me down | |
Can' t keep me down | |
Oh, in the ground | |
Does it hurt? | |
Oh, it really doesn' t matter | |
Does it burn? | |
Oh, I don' t feel a thing | |
