Laughing (Live in Toronto 1983) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Laocoön and her two sons
Pressured storm, try to move
No other more emotion bound
Martyred, misconstrued

[Chorus]
Lighted (Ah)
In a room
A lanky room
Lighted, lighted
Laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted
Laughing

[Verse 2]
Laocoön and her two sons
Run the gamut, slated view
When they're song(?), flower, flower song
Martyred, misconstrued

[Chorus]
Lighted (Ah)
In a room
Lanky room
Lighted, lighted
Laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted
Laughing
[Bridge]
In a room
Lock the door
Latch the room
Lighted, lighted
Laughing

[Verse 3]
Laocoön and her two sons
Shattered the storm, slated room
Find a place fit to laugh
Lock thе doors and latch the room

[Chorus]
Lighted
In a room
Lanky room
Lighted, lightеd
Laughing in tune
Lighted, lighted
Laughing in tune

[Outro]
Lighted, lighted
Laughing in tunes
Lighted, lighted
Laughing in tunes
(I don't know if you want to)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
