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
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
He's dressed
In the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me)
On his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does
And me I get so tired
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
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 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 as there was pain before
Far away he rambles on
I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder, should I laugh or cry?
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) 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?
