Living A Little, Laughing A Little

[John Hiatt]
Laugh everyone at the clown
He's the best one in town, Ummm ummm

[Elvis Costello]
Ride on his merry-go-round
Spinning faster than sound
Uuuuh huh Uuuuh huh

[John Hiatt]
Laugh as the funny man cries
Though his makeup is smeared
Uuuuh huuuh

[Elvis Costello]
Laugh at his comical tears
As he thinks of the years
Uuuuh huh Uuuuh huh

[John Hiatt & Elvis Costello]
Livin' just a little
Laughing just a little
Ain't easy, Uuuuuh huuuuh
Livin' just a little
Laughing just a little
Ain't easy

[Elvis Costello]
Laugh everyone at the fool
With his heart in his hand
Uuuuh huuuh

[John Hiatt]
Mmmmm, he can't quite understand
That he's less than a man
Uuuuh huuuh Uuuuh huuuh

[Elvis Costello]
Lost somewhere deep in his shell
There's an ember of pride
Uuuuh huuuh

[John Hiatt & Elvis Costello]
Watch how he tries hard to hide
That he's dying inside
Uuuuh huuuh
Uuuuh huuuh

[John Hiatt & Elvis Costello]
Livin' just a little
Laughing just a little
Ain't easy, Uuuuuh huuuuh
Livin' just a little
Laughing just a little
Ain't easy

Livin' just a little
Laughing just a little
Ain't easy, Uuuuuh huuuuh
Livin' just a little
Laughing just a little
Ain't easy
