Woke Up Laughing

I was waitin' for you
As I sat in the sun
I pictured your face on the tip of my tongue,
I woke up laughing,
I broke into a sweat,
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun,
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back,
I was takin' a plunge
I was makin' a stand but my plan was undone,
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape,
in the middle of June
But I go too fast and I fired too soon,
I woke up laughing
I woke up laughing
I woke up laughing
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 has blown away
You meditate,
but you make haste
You run a race,
but you come late
You pay bills,
but 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
As I sat in the sun
I pictured your face on the tip of my tongue,
I woke up laughing,
I broke into a sweat,
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun,
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back,
I was takin' a plunge
I was makin' a stand but my plan was undone,
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape,
in the middle of June
But I go too fast and I fired too soon,
I woke up laughing
I woke up laughing
I woke up laughing
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 has blown away
You meditate,
but you make haste
You run a race,
but you come late
You pay bills,
but 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
