Sunflower Cat - It Takes A Lot To Laugh It Takes A Train To Cry Lyrics

One eye is open, the other eye is shut

Don't throw anything to me

I'm in no place, no place to receive

And I just can't move a thing

Things are rough down here

You know it's a little grim

Whatever you've got to pick me up

To help me out, I'm in

I'm down with that



In my dream I can fly, fly high

Over the fields and across the sky

Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground

If you could take me back up there

I'm down, down with that



When I escape and close my eyes

Can't tell you from me

Sometimes in the dreams I look at myself

And it's looks so good, what I see

I'm having a little trouble here

Could you maybe help me out?

A little confidence pill you got

To take away my self-doubt

I'm down with that



In my dream I can fly, fly high

Over the fields and across the sky

Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground

If you could take me back up there

I'm down, down with that



Slow down sun, shake yourself

Why make your own hell?

Say what are you doing son?

I'm just trying to likemyself

I'd love to help myself

You know I really, really would

May your days be bright and well



In my dream I can fly, fly high

Over the fields and across the sky

Then I'm awake and I'm back on the ground

If you could take me back up there

I'm down, down with that

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, can't buy a thrill

Well, I've been up all night, baby, leanin' on the window sill

Well, if I die on top of the hill

And if I don't make it, you know my baby will



Don't the moon look good, mama, shinin' through the trees?

Don't the brakeman look good, mama, flagging down the "Double E"?

Don't the sun look good goin' down over the sea?

Don't my gal look fine when she's comin' after me?



Now the wintertime is coming, the windows are filled with frost

I want to tell everybody, but I could not get across

Well, I wanna be your lover, baby, I don't wanna be your boss

Don't say I never warned you when your train gets lost
