Everybody's Laughing

(álbum: Shooting At The Sun - 2003)

It was the last night of the 20th Century
And the party was going strong
Champagne, beer wine and whiskey
Everyone was totally gone

2am in the morning I see a stranger walking in
Said his name was Charlie and somebody'd sent for him

Then everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

I'd never seen such a queue for the bathroom
Since I hung out at The Sunset Bar
And that line of Californian denial
Didn't stretch even halfway as far

I never had so many people boring me to death
Am I the only fool that needs to go to bed?

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
Just wanna die

If you're staring in the face of temptation
But it don't blow your skirt up high
You're naive to the situation
'Til your friends get that look in their eyes

'Cause when they ask the question
Why I never had a try,
I said
"Take a look around the room, you'll see the reason why!"

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
Don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
No I don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why

'Cause everybody's laughing, everybody's high
Everybody's laughing, but I don't know why
