T Bone Burnett - Laughing Out Loud lyrics

[Verse 1] Man you oughta finish what you started You can't leave me here alive I know it started as a fist fight But you've got me covered up in hives [Hook] I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree When all this indecision reigns It's your aimlessness that helps me see straight [Verse 2] You got me walkin' up a tightrope With vaseline from my head to my feet You got me lookin' into blindfolds I know you've got your hands all over me So when all these imitations fail Just don't look back cause I won't be there [Chorus] Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just what it was all about Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just why you'd push me around [Verse 3] I'm doing time inside a grapevine Little things amuse little minds Where nothing's free except a little bit of bad advice On how to live on only water, bread, and rice [Hook] I don't need an invitation The best peach is at the top of that tree So when all this night time vision fails I'll lose all these chains and slip out of this jail [Chorus] Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just what it was all about Laughing out loud When I didn't ever know just why you'd push me around (x2)
