Joking Indigo Girls

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
And you were only joking
You were only joking, brother

[Verse 2]
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 war
I'm a dying man but I don't know what for

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 3]
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
