Laugh 'N' a 1/2 - 1995 - Remaster

I learned politeness on my mother's knee
I learned by uprightness my number of friends
Should increase
When I think about the things I've done
I laugh out loud to no one
Yeah, to no one

'Cause it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart
There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half

But I became honest Mr. Mistaken
In spite of the curves my smile was makin'
Bumpers and kickers in one big stream
I grew up in a life size pinball machine
Yeah, they're mean

'Cause it's so hard to meet the eyes that I see
When I try to open up my heart
There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half (there's a laugh)
On my behalf
There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half

I tried to fill some silence
'Cause the silence feels so long
I knew the ice was gettin' thinner
But I kept skating on
My mother threw me into this world as a winner
But by the light of the yellow beer
They tell jokes I'll never get to hear
On my behalf

There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half (there's a laugh)
Yeah, on my behalf
There's something inside me 'n' I know it's good
But understanding is misunderstood
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half
(There's a laugh 'n' a half)
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half
(There's a laugh 'n' a half)
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half
(There's a laugh 'n' a half)
At the end of a smile, there's a laugh 'n' a half
