Indigo Girls - Joking lyrics

You said the world was magic<br>I was wide-eyed and laughing<br>We were dancing up to the bright side<br>Forget about your ego<br>Forget about your pride<br>And you will never have to compromise<br>And you were only joking<br>You were only joking brother<br><br>We talked about our mothers<br>Kissed the wounds of our fathers<br>I could have been your sister<br>I would have been your brother<br>You kissed me like I was a soldier<br>Headed for a war<br>I dying man but I don't know what for<br>And you were only joking<br>You were only joking brother<br>You were only joking<br>(wide-eyed and laughing)<br>You were only joking brother<br>(dancing up to the bright side)<br><br>Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet<br>I bruised my heels on the swollen street<br>We were girls in bars<br>Boys on the town<br>Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd<br>You said good friends are hard to come by<br>I laughed and bought you a beer<br>It's too corny to cry<br>Well sentiment given<br>Oh sentiment lost<br>You shake it off with a smirk and a toss<br>And you were only joking<br>You were only joking brother<br>You were only joking<br>Were only joking brother<br>And you were only joking<br>(gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet)<br>You were only joking brother<br>(I bruised my heels on the swollen street)<br>You kissed me like a soldier heading for a war<br>(joking)<br>I'm a dying man<br>(you were only joking)<br>And you were only joking<br>(don't know what for)<br>(dying man)<br>You were only joking brother<br>(don't know what for)<br>And you were only<br>And you were only<br>And you were only joking<br>Brother<br><br>One two three four<br>Ah yeah<br>Sha la<br>Sha la<br>Sha la<br>Sha la<br>Sha la<br>(wide eyed and laughing)<br>Sha la<br>(dancing up to the bright side)<br>Sha la<br>(wide eyed and laughing)<br>Sha la<br>(dancing up to the bright side)
