Oingo Boingo - Only Makes Me Laugh lyrics

rate me

I don't know why I feel this way

I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune

Darkness can never last too long

Every time I think I'm falling

And there's nobody around to hold me up

And it seems like the world has come to an end

I look for miles but not a face is friendly

Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground

The bottom of the hole is a raging fire

I try to jump over but there's no way

The next thing I know, I'm going down

(Chorus)

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter

Does it hurt?

Oh, I don't give a damn

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

The last time that I fell in love

The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour

The woman became a monster

And everyone I knew had become a stranger

And the room went black and my luck was spent

The floor opened up, down I went

(Repeat Chorus)

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter

Does it hurt?

Oh, I don't give a damn

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

Coming right back

Coming right back

'Cause you can't keep me down

Can't keep me down

Oh, in the ground

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing

I don't mind just a little pain

Ooh, oh yeah

Whoa...

Remembering when I was a young man

How everything seemed to turn against me

I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place

The sun was covered by a dark cloud

And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape

The only way to go was straight down

(Repeat Chorus)

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter

Does it hurt?

Oh, I don't give a damn

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

It only makes me laugh

I don't know why I feel this way

I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune

Darkness can never last too long...

When you laugh in its face

When you laugh in its face

I don't know why I feel this way

I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune

Darkness can never last too long...

When you laugh in its face
