It Only Makes Me Laugh

Oingo Boingo

I don't know why I feel this way 
I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune 
Darkness can never last too long 

Every time I think I'm falling 
And there's nobody around to hold me up 
And it seems like the world has come to an end 
I look for miles but not a face is friendly 
Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground 
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire 
I try to jump over but there's no way 
The next thing I know, I'm going down 
 
Does it hurt? 
Oh, it really doesn't matter 
Does it burn? 
Oh, I don't feel a thing 
Does it sting? 
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter 
Does it hurt? 
Oh, I don't give a damn 
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom 
It only makes me laugh 
It only makes me laugh 
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom 

The last time that I fell in love 
The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour 
The woman became a monster 
And everyone I knew had become a stranger 
And the room went black and my luck was spent 
The floor opened up, down I went 

It only makes me laugh 
It only makes me laugh 
It only makes me laugh 
Coming right back 
Coming right back 
'Cause you can't keep me down 
Can't keep me down 
Oh, in the ground 

Does it hurt? 
Oh, it really doesn't matter 
Does it burn? 
Oh, I don't feel a thing 
I don't mind just a little pain 
Ooh, oh yeah 
Whoa... 

Remembering when I was a young man 
How everything seemed to turn against me 
I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place 
The sun was covered by a dark cloud 
And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape 
The only way to go was straight down 

It only makes me laugh 
It only makes me laugh 
It only makes me laugh 
It only makes me laugh 

I don't know why I feel this way 
I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune 
Darkness can never last too long... 
When you laugh in it's face 
When you laugh in it's face 
I don't know why I feel this way...
