I had a dream oh was it true
I saw the sun set low on you
In a blood-red suns final rays
With after night solo shadow plays

Into the world we started to run
Like bullets from a gun
With passion and desire
Like two burning balls of fire

And there is surely nothing else
The gods have gotta keep on laughing, laughing
La-laughing, laughing, laughing

If fools want to dance let the music play
So much unsung so much so say
Like velvet claws the night unfolds
Its secret bare its story told
I had a friend heaven and hell
His life was short he lived it well
The limits here the time is now
I'd like to lead you better how

And there is surely nothing else
The gods have gotta keep on laughing, laughing
La-laughing, laughing
La-laughing, laughing,
La-laughing, laughing, laughing

And I don't want no feeling blue
'Cause I been laughing too
And I don't want no feeling blue
'Cause I been laughing too
And so could you
