I wake up laughing

Thrown from a nightmare

I come down standing

When I'm tossed in the air

Bright as Tiajuana

Like a dose of Bella Donna

I could cry but I don't wanna'

And the dream's lost on me

I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin'

I greet bad news by sending it walking

Happy or just crazy

Relaxed or lazy

Gonna keep my vision hazy

And the dream's lost on me

Cares are all buckshot and buffalo

Every dark has an afterglow

I'm not afraid of what's down below

I keep my sights on the sky

I wake up laughing

Thrown from a nightmare

I come down standing

When I'm tossed in the air

Bright as Tiajuana

Like a dose of Bella Donna

I could cry but I don't wanna'

And the dream's lost on me

I come out shootin' when trouble comes knockin'

I greet bad news by sending it walkin'

Happy or just crazy

Relaxed or laxy

I'm gonna keep my vision hazy

And the dream's lost on me
