Laugh'n A 1/2

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 Chorus: Coz 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 1/2 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 pin ball machine Yeah they're mean Chorus On my behalf There's something inside me 'n I know it's good But understanding is misunderstood At the end of a smile; ther's a laugh 'n a 1/2 I tried to fill some silence Coz 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...
