Joking Lyrics - 1200 Curfews - Indigo Girls

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 you will never have to compromise 

and you were only joking 

you were only joking brother 

we talked about our mothers 

kissed the wounds of our fathers 

i could have been your sister 

i would have been your brother 

you kissed me like i was a soldier 

headed for a war 

i dying man but i don't know what for 

and you were only joking 

you were only joking brother 

you were only joking 

(wide-eyed and laughing) 

you were only joking brother 

(dancing up to the bright side)

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 sentiment given 

oh sentiment lost 

you shake it off with a smirk and a toss 

and you were only joking 

you were only joking brother 

you were only joking 

were only joking brother 

and you were only joking 

(gravel and glass on the bottom of my feet) 

you were only joking brother 

(i bruised my heels on the swollen street) 

you kissed me like a soldier heading for a war 

(joking) 

i'm a dying man 

(you were only joking) 

and you were only joking 

(don't know what for) 

(dying man) 

you were only joking brother 

(don't know what for) 

and you were only 

and you were only 

and you were only joking 

brother
