air raids in the afternoon
the children are playing
switchblades cutting red balloons
no one hears you praying

and it comes back to you
all the things that you do
they’ll come looking for you
they’ll come looking for you

but , i will still be laughing
yes , i will still be laughing

doorways lead to other rooms
always leave you lying
face down in a strangers tomb
didn’t know you were dying

and you rise and you fall
and you wait for the call
your watching the walls
your watching the walls

but , i will still be laughing
yeah , i will still be laughing
i will still be laughing
yes , i will still be laughing
