Lyrics of Should i laugh or cry

He stands towering over me beside my bed losing his head
Tells me i must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way he's such a clever guy
And i wonder should i laugh or cry

He's dressed in the striped pajamas that i bought trousers too short
Gives me all his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does and me i get so tired
And i wonder should i laugh or cry

High and mighty his banner flies a fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All i see is the big balloon halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie so should i laugh or cry

Strange how dangerously indifferent i have grown cold as a stone
No more pain where there was pain before
Far away he rambles on, i feel my throat go dry
And i wonder should i laugh or cry

High and mighty his banner flies a fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All i see is the big balloon halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in the warm and safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie so should i laugh or cry
