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?
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?
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?
