You've been saying that your life is nothing but a masquerade
Did I hear you say that love is running through your head?
Now you come along and tell me all about the games you play
Don't you think the time has come for you to join the band?
Tell it to the laughing man, yeah,
tell it to the laughing man
Tell it to the laughing man,
tell it to the laughing man
What about the girl you used to know in Abilene?
She was all you really wanted,
everything she did was right
Don't you realize the girl was only in your dream?
Tell it to the laughing man,
yeah, tell it to the laughing man
Tell it to the laughing man,
tell it to the laughing man
He will understand
Aaaaaaaah!
Oh,
to be happy forever
Now you can see that nothing has changed
Only a change in the weather
Eyes that can see, no eyes that will know
Vision will come and vision will go
And once you can get it together
Together you will be happy forever
