When the streets are empty late at night
Just the silence fills me with delight, s’alright
Rain is falling, trees are still
My mind is racing but my heart is as well
It’s not funny, it’s a shame

He’s the greatest fighter in the world
Got into a brawl over some girl, sweet girl
He’ll get better, the scars will heal
His eye will open but his heart never will
It’s not funny, it’s a shame

There’s a funny side to it all
Seeing someone lese take a fall
When it’s you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody’s tumbling, tumbling on

Different strokes for different folks, it’s true
Changes in our lives go right on through and through
It gets better as time goes on
Some of us are gonna end up alone
It’s not funny, it’s a shame

There’s a funny side to it all
Seeing someone lese take a fall
When it’s you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody’s tumbling, tumbling
Everyone’s tumbling

There’s a funny side to it all
Seeing someone lese take a fall
When it’s you it happens to, sending you
Tumbling, tumbling
Such a funny side to it all
Take another tumble and fall
Everybody’s tumbling, tumbling
Eveyone’s tumbling
