Should I Laugh or Cry (Intro Version)

[Intro]

"Noll... ett, två, tre"

[Verse 1]

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

Then I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

[Verse 2]

He's dressed in the striped pyjamas that I bought

Trousers too short

Gives me of his small philosophy

Carries on the way he does, and me I get so tired

And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?

[Chorus]

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...)

All I see is a 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?

[Verse 3]

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?

[Chorus]

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...)

All I see is a 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?
