Lyrics Danny Elfman

Danny Elfman

It Only Makes Me Laugh

I don't know why I feel this way,

I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune,

Darkness can never last too long,

Every time I think I'm falling,

And there's nobody around to hold me up,

And it seems like the world has come to an end,

I look for miles but not a face is friendly,

Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground,

The bottom of the hole is a raging fire,

I try to jump over but there's no way,

The next thing I know, I'm going down.

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter,

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing,

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter,

Does it hurt?

Oh, I don't give a damn,

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom,

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh,

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom.

The last time that I fell in love,

The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour,

The woman became a monster,

And everyone I knew had become a stranger,

And the room went black and my luck was spent,

The floor opened up, down I went.

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter,

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing,

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter,

Does it hurt?

Oh, I don't give a damn,

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom,

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh,

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom.

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh,

Coming right back,

Coming right back,

'Cause you can't keep me down,

Can't keep me down,

Oh, in the ground.

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter,

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing,

I don't mind just a little pain,

Ooh, oh yeah,

Whoa...

Remembering when I was a young man,

How everything seemed to turn against me,

I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place,

The sun was covered by a dark cloud,

And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape,

The only way to go was straight down.

Does it hurt?

Oh, it really doesn't matter,

Does it burn?

Oh, I don't feel a thing,

Does it sting?

Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter,

Does it hurt?

Oh, I don't give a damn,

When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom,

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh,

When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom.

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh,

It only makes me laugh.

I don't know why I feel this way,

I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune,

Darkness can never last too long...

When you laugh in its face,

When you laugh in its face.

I don't know why I feel this way,

I don't know if it's right or wrong to laugh at misfortune,

Darkness can never last too long...

When you laugh in its face.
