Lyrics
Words and music: amy ray
You said the world was magic I was wide-eyed and laughing
We were dancing up to the bright side
Forget about your ego forget about your pride
And we will never have to compromise
And you were only joking
You were only joking brother
We talked about mothers kissing the wounds of our fathers
I could have been your sister I would have been your brother
You kissed me like a soldier heading for a war
I'm a dying man but I don't know what for
But you were only joking
You were only joking brother
You were only joking
You were only joking brother
Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet
I bruised my heels on the swollen street
We were girls in bars, boys on the town
Bumping like a pinball off a careless crowd
You said good friends are hard to come by
I laughed and bought you a beer it's too corny to cry
Well sentiments given, sentiments lost
You shook it off with a smirk and a toss
You were only joking
You were only joking brother
Amy:
You were only joking
You were only joking brother
You kissed me like a soldier heading for a war
I'm a dying man but I don't know what for
Emily:
Gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet
I bruised my heels on the swolen street
Joking
You were only joking brother
And you were only, you were only, you were only joking
Brother

Sha na (wide-eyed and laughing)
Sha na ( dancing up to the bright side)
Sha na ( wide-eyed and laughing)
Sha na ( dancing up to the bright side)
