Should I Laugh Or Cry - Intro Version

He stands
Towering over me beside my bed
Losing his head
Tells me
I must take him seriously
Droning on the usual way
He's such a clever guy
And i wonder
Should I laugh or cry

He's dressed
In the striped pajamas that I bought
Trousers too short
Gives (gives) me (me)
On his small philosophy
Carries on the way he does
And me I get so tired
And i wonder
Should i laugh or cry
High and mighty, his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
All i see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in the warm
And safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should i laugh or cry

Strange how
Dangerously indifferent I have grown
Cold as a stone
No more
Pain as there was pain before
Far away he rambles on
I feel my throat go dry
And I wonder
Should i laugh or cry

High and mighty, his banner flies
A fool's pride in his eyes
Standing there on his toes to grow in size
(All I see) All I see is a big balloon
Halfway up to the moon
He's wrapped up in the warm
And safe cocoon
Of an eternal lie
So should i laugh or cry
