He stands towering over me beside my bed losing his head |
|
Tells me I must take him seriously |
|
Droning on the usual way he's such a clever guy |
|
And I wonder should I laugh or cry |
|
He's dressed in the striped pajamas that I bought trousers too short |
|
Gives me of small philosophy |
|
Carries on the way he does and me I get so tired |
|
And I wonder should I laugh or cry |
|
High and mighty his banner flies a fool's pride in his eyes |
|
Standing there on his toes to grow in size |
|
All I see is the big balloon halfway up to the moon |
|
He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon |
|
Of an eternal lie so should I laugh or cry |
|
Strange how dangerously indifferent I have grown cold as a stone |
|
No more pain where there was pain before |
|
Far away he rambles on, I feel my throat go dry |
|
And I wonder should I laugh or cry |
|
High and mighty his banner flies a fool's pride in his eyes |
|
Standing there on his toes to grow in size |
|
All I see is the big balloon halfway up to the moon |
|
He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon |
|
Of an eternal lie so should I laugh or cry |
