Laughing Aloud

Eight weeks in the city

And you've never looked so pale

They say, the pure of heart don't stand a chance

And you'd better learn to swim

'Cause there will be rainy days

I'm blinded by the brake lights

Well, there's nothing moving here

And all your burning questions

They just get answered with another one

And there's no help at all

So question me no questions

It's a pointless enterprise

You ask and I'll only tell you

Exactly what I think you want to hear

Oh, mind the whitest lies

'Cause the truth, well, it's for students for philosophy

And faith is for losers like us

And secrets are for people

Who intend to get away with being in the wrong

So don't you breath a word

But save your breath for the laughing aloud again

Save your breath for the talking all night

Oh, save you breath for the laughing aloud again

Save your breath, save your breath

Will you listen to those bleeding hearts?

Pretend to show concern

And so we glanced towards our watches

And join in as everybody sings

Oh, what have we become?

Will you hop a train to anywhere?

It sure ain't no place like home

Where there are no strangers

Only people you don't wanna know

But before the crying out loud

Just save your breath for the laughing aloud again

Save your breath for the talking all night

Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud

Oh, save your breath, save your breath

So meet me by the station

And bring a change of heart

And smile away the old country

As we watch it disappear

And pull these years apart

And scatter from the window

To settle on the fields

And tell yourself a hundred times

That forever starts today

And think how good it feels

To save your breath for the laughing aloud again

Save your breath for the talking all night

Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud again

Save your breath, save your breath

Save your breath for the laughing aloud again

Save your breath for the talking all night

Oh, save your breath for the laughing aloud

Oh, save your breath, save

Oh, save your breath

(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)

Save your breath

(There must be something you consider to be worth fighting for)

Save your breath

(Waste your breath on running circles)

(Round and round and round)

Save your breath

(And talk about it when it cannot get you down)

Save your breath

(Nobody wants that much, we just want more)

Save your breath

(Don't waste your breath on treading water anymore)

Save your breath

(Don't waste your breath on running circles)

(Round and round and round and round)

Save your breath, save your breath
