Red bird singin' in my window this morning
Telephone ringin', nobody on it
All this living is death defying
You gotta laugh to keep from cryin'

Ya ever heard the story about the man in a room
Full of horse shit and the man had a broom
He laughed as he swept and they asked him why
Said, "Underneath this shit there must be a horse to ride."

All these feelings all of us felt
Is this heaven or is this hell
Is there truth or is it all perspective
Look into the mirror, see if there's a reflection

Red bird singin' in my window this morning
Telephone ringin', nobody on it
All this living is death defying
You gotta laugh to keep from cryin'
You gotta laugh to keep from cryin'
You gotta laugh to keep from cryin'
