Generate meaning
1
When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
2
And your adolescent dreams are gone
3
Through the days you feel a little used up
4
And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong
5
It's just your soul feelin' a little downhearted
6
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
7
You count your friends all on one finger
8
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
9
CHORUS:
10
Between a laugh and a tear
11
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
12
Between a laugh and a tear
13
And that's as good as it can get for us
14
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
15
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
16
You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile
17
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
18
And it don't seem to mean anything to you now
19
Just try to live each and every precious moment
20
Don't be discouraged by the future forget the past
21
That's old advise but it'll be good to you
22
I know there's a balance see it when I swing past
23
CHORUS:
24
Between a laugh and a tear
25
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
26
Between a laugh and a tear
27
And that's as good as it can get for us
28
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
29
Between a laugh and a tear
30
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
31
Between a laugh and a tear
32
And that's as good as it can get for us
33
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
34
When paradise can no longer amuse you.....
