[Verse 1]
How'm I doing? I don't know
Just here listening to Billy Joel
The Stranger album, trying to change my mood
Fight the blues with more blues
[Chorus]
Lately I'd try anything to get back to laughing
To get back to smiling
Lately I spend all my time
Searching the sky for a silver lining
[Verse 2]
You at home, can you come down?
I spent all day just walking around
Helped some tourists find Chinatown
McCann's is open, we can burn it down
[Chorus]
Lately I'd try anything to get back to laughing
To get back to smiling
Lately I spend all my time
Searching the sky for a silver lining
[Bridge]
The silence is so noisy and the music's too loud
[Chorus]
Lately I'd try anything to get back to laughing
To get back to smiling
Lately I spend all my time
Searching the sky for a silver lining
[Outro]
Lately I'd try anything to get back to laughing
To find a silver lining
