Joking

(Dancing up to the bright side)
Sha la

Kissed the wounds of our fathers

Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet
You were only joking, brother
Sha la
And you were only joking
And you will never have to compromise
I laughed and bought you a beer
Forget about your pride
I'm dying man but I don't know what for
Sha la
Sha la
Sha la
You said, "Good friends are hard to come by"
Brother
You kissed me like I was a soldier
You were only joking, brother
Sha la
We talked about our mothers
You were only joking, brother
(I bruised my heels on the swollen street)
We were girls in bars

I would have been your brother
You were only joking

Sha la
You were only joking, brother
We were dancing up to the bright side
(Don't know what for)
Sha la
And you were only joking
One two three four
I'm a dying man
I could have been your sister
(Dancing up to the bright side)
Sha la
It's too corny to cry
Forget about your ego
You were only joking, brother
You were only joking, brother

(Don't know what for)
Ah yeah woo
And you were only
(Wide-eyed and laughing)
Sha la
Oh, sentiment lost
You shake it off with a smirk and a toss
You kissed me like a soldier heading for a war
You were only joking, brother
You were only joking
(Dancing up to the bright side)
(Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet)
Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
(Dying man)
(Joking)
And you were only joking
And you were only joking
And you were only joking

And you were only joking

And you were only

(Wide-eyed and laughing)
Sha la
Sha la
(Wide-eyed and laughing)
Headed for a war
I bruised my heels on the swollen street
Sha la
(You were only joking)
Well sentiment given
Boys on the town
