Woke Up Laughing

I was waitin' for you

I was sat in the sun

I could picture your face

On the tip of my tongue

Woke up laughin'

I broke into a sweat

I broke into a run

You were hot in my heels

So I hired a gun

Woke up laughin'

I was flat on my back

I was takin' a plunge

I was makin' a stand

But my plan was undone

Woke up laughin'

Well I planned an escape

For the middle of June

But I dug too fast

And I fired too soon

Woke up laughin'

Woke up laughin'

You make yourself a fortune out in Hong Kong

You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong

You take a small vacation just to keep sane

You find on your return your home is blown away

You meditate, you make haste

You run a risk, you come late

You pay a bill, you lose face

You're not fully unaware

Your star or your fate

If you fall do you break?

You go to war, you make love

You sign out in a box

I was waitin' for you

I was sat in the sun

I could picture your face

On the tip of my tongue

Woke up laughin'

I broke into a sweat

I broke into a run

You were hot in my heels

So I hired a gun

Woke up laughin'

I was flat on my back

I was takin' a plunge

I was makin' a stand

But my plan was undone

Woke up laughin'

Well I planned an escape

For the middle of June

But I dug too fast

And I fired too soon

Woke up laughin'

Woke up laughin'

Woke up laughin'

You make yourself a fortune out in Hong Kong

You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong

You take a small vacation just to keep sane
