| Song | It Only Makes Me Laugh - 1988 Boingo Alive Version |
| Artist | Oingo Boingo |
| Album | Boingo Alive |
| I don't know why I feel this way | |
| I don't know if it's right or wrong | |
| To laugh at misfortune | |
| Darkness can never last too long | |
| Every time I think I'm falling | |
| And there's nobody around to hold me up | |
| And it seems like the world has come to an end | |
| I look for miles, but not a face is friendly | |
| Then suddenly, a hole opens up in the ground | |
| The bottom of the hole is a raging fire | |
| I try to jump over, but there's no way | |
| The next thing I know, I'm going down | |
| Does it hurt? | |
| Oh, it really doesn't matter | |
| Does it burn? | |
| Oh, no, I don't feel a thing | |
| Does it sting? | |
| Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter | |
| Does it hurt? | |
| Oh, I don't give a damn | |
| When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom | |
| It only makes me laugh | |
| Only makes me laugh | |
| When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom | |
| The last time that I fell in love | |
| The love was milk and honey | |
| But the milk turned sour | |
| The woman became a monster | |
| And everyone I knew had become a stranger | |
| Then the room went black and my luck was spent | |
| The floor opened up—down I went | |
| Does it hurt? | |
| Oh, it really doesn't matter | |
| Does it burn? | |
| Oh, no, I don't feel a thing | |
| Does it sting? | |
| Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter | |
| Does it hurt? | |
| Oh, I don't give a damn | |
| When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom | |
| It only makes me laugh | |
| Only makes me laugh | |
| When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom | |
| It only makes me laugh | |
| Coming right back | |
| 'Cause you can't keep me down | |
| Can't keep me down | |
| Oh, in the ground | |
| Does it hurt? | |
| Oh, it really doesn't matter | |
| Does it burn? | |
| Oh, I don't feel a thing | |
| I don't mind just a little pain | |
| Ooh, oh, yeah | |
| Whoa.... | |
| Remembering when I was a young man | |
| How everything seemed to turn against me | |
| I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place | |
| The sun was covered by a dark cloud | |
| And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape | |
| The only way to go: straight down | |
| I don't know why I feel this way | |
| I don't know if it's right or wrong | |
| To laugh at misfortune | |
| Darkness can never last too long... | |
| When you laugh in its face |
| I don' t know why I feel this way | |
| I don' t know if it' s right or wrong | |
| To laugh at misfortune | |
| Darkness can never last too long | |
| Every time I think I' m falling | |
| And there' s nobody around to hold me up | |
