Doorways open up and close more ways to a punchline
   They're all laughing at your clothes, standing in the lunch line
   You're the talk of the town cause you're up and you're down
   It's a cycle, I've found, it always comes around
  
   But I will still be laughing
   Yes I will still be laughing
  
   Air raids in the afternoon, the children are playing
   Switchblades, colored red balloons, no one hears your praying
   And it comes back to you, all the things that you do
   Will come looking for you, will come looking for you
  
   But I will still be laughing
   Yes I will still be laughing
  
   Doorways lead to other rooms, always leave you lying
   Face down in a stranger's tomb, didn't know you were dying
   And you rise and you fall, and you wait for the call
   You're watching the walls, you're watching the walls
  
   But I will still be laughing
   I will still be laughing
   Yes I will still be laughing
   I will still be laughing
