Over the Rhine - The Laugh of Recognition lyrics

Come on boys It's time to settle down What do you think you'll gain From all this runnin' around? Come on boys It's time to let it go Everybody has a dream That they will never own Come on boys It's time to let her down You might be surprised How far she'll get With her feet on the ground So come on boys Every night we always Led the pack There and back And we never could do anything half Oh you have to laugh You just gotta laugh So come on boys It weren't not for tryin' It's called the laugh of recognition When you laugh but you feel like dyin' Come on boys Now don't be shy If we gotta walk away We gotta hold our heads up high You're not the first one to start again Come on now friends There is something to be said for tenacity I'll hold on to you If you hold on to me Come on boys
