Should I Laugh Or Cry (Intro Version)

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
