I wake up laughing
Thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing
When I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tijuana
Like a dose of Belladonna
I could cry but I don't wanna
And the dream's lost on me
I come out shootin'
When trouble comes knockin'
I greet bad news
By sending it walkin'
Happy or just crazy
Relaxed or lazy
Gonna keep my vision hazy
And the dream's lost on me
Cares are all buckshot and buffalo
Every dark has an afterglow
I'm not afraid of what's down below
I keep my sights on the sky
I wake up laughing
Thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing
When I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tijuana
Like a dose of Belladonna
I could cry but I don't wanna
And the dream's lost on me
I come out shootin'
When trouble comes knockin'
I greet bad news
By sending it walkin'
Happy or just crazy
Relaxed or lazy
I'm gonna keep my vision hazy
And the dream's lost on me
