You said the world was magic I was wide-eyed and laughing We were dancing up to the bright side Forget about your ego Forget about your pride And you will never have to compromise And you were only joking You were only joking brother
We talked about our mothers Kissed the wounds of our fathers I could have been your sister I would have been your brother You kissed me like I was a soldier Headed for a war I dying man but I don't know what for And you were only joking You were only joking brother You were only joking (wide-eyed and laughing) You were only joking brother (dancing up to the bright side)
Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet I bruised my heels on the swollen street We were girls in bars Boys on the town Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd You said good friends are hard to come by I laughed and bought you a beer It's too corny to cry Well sentiment given Oh sentiment lost You shake it off with a smirk and a toss And you were only joking You were only joking brother You were only joking Were only joking brother And you were only joking (gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet) You were only joking brother (I bruised my heels on the swollen street) You kissed me like a soldier heading for a war (joking) I'm a dying man (you were only joking) And you were only joking (don't know what for) (dying man) You were only joking brother (don't know what for) And you were only And you were only And you were only joking Brother
One two three four Ah yeah Sha la Sha la Sha la Sha la Sha la (wide eyed and laughing) Sha la (dancing up to the bright side) Sha la (wide eyed and laughing) Sha la (dancing up to the bright side)
