After Laughter Comes Tears

When we see people
We see people
We see people who are not home
They have two arms and
They have two legs and
Something is missing
And we just don't know
We can't name it

Thrown into an existence machine and spat out
Inside out and outside in
And spat out
La la la la
Who keeps it running?
Who is checking the oil?
Who keeps it running?
Who is checking the oil?
La la la la la

After laughter comes tears
All good things come to an end
No need for medication
It feels like losing a friend

La la la la la

When we see people
We see people who are intact but out of tune
They have some questions
They know some answers
But in fact they clap too soon
They can't name it
There's no name for it

Thrown into an existence machine
And spat out
La la la la
Who keeps it running?
Who is checking the oil?
Who keeps it running?
Who is checking the oil?
La la la la la

After laughter comes tears
All good things come to an end
No need for medication
It feels like losing a friend
