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
