Blood Red Laughter by Magnum (Band) Lyrics

Was there a single word I said to betray?
The very thoughts inside my head blown away
I know we never drew the line to be crossed
And really didn’t think too much would be lost

It knocked me all out of shape
I don’t know what I fell into
It’s got me living on faith
And after all that I’ve been through

Blood red laughter
Across your face
If I recall
Monday morning
You run and hide
Can’t face it all
Moonlight’s fading
I watched you sleep
All through the night
And I wonder
What did you dream
Wrapped up so tight?
There was a priest all dressed in black on the day
Although his mind was somewhere else far away
It’s like a stranger took his place for a while
And then returned it faithfully with a smile

It seems a long time ago
And we’re still walking the same street
Yeah, it’s beginning to show
Just like the cracks in the concrete

Blood red laughter
Across your face
If I recall
Monday morning
You run and hide
Can’t face it all
Moonlight’s fading
I watched you sleep
All through the night
And I wonder
What did you dream
Wrapped up so tight?

But now where I stand
And all that I see
A picture of you
The shadow of me
From the touch of your hand
The turn of the key
Yeah, I’ll live for you
If you’ll live for me
Blood red laughter
Across your face
If I recall
Monday morning
You run and hide
Can’t face it all
Moonlight’s fading
I watched you sleep
All through the night
And I wonder
