The Middle East one day, it blew in, swept away In comes the sunshine, story turned to strange In walking comes a smile, I didn't know the day She sits down beside me, perfectly arranged Laura's gone away, I don't know just how long she'll be there Sadly eyes of pain are bouncing in and out of nowhere She wanders all around, will she make it on fries and coffee Bigger words then tears, I'm afraid of what it might be Laura's gone away, I don't know just how long she'll be there Sadly eyes of pain are bouncing in and out of nowhere And she's bouncing in and out of nowhere Ain't nobody help me on the outside Gotta make it through to the inside And I'm talking strange Ain't nobody help me on the outside Gotta make it through to the inside And I'm talking strange Talking strange Laura's gone away, I don't know just how long she'll be there Sadly eyes of pain are bouncing in and out of nowhere It's alright, she leaves it all behind We all run for the Middle East sometimes Little mind yeah can take us anywhere Escape us anywhere, escape us everywhere
