Rolling Stones, The – Laugh, I Nearly Died

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

I’ve been travelling but I don’t know where

I’ve been missing you but you just don’t care

And I’ve been wandering, I’ve seen Greece and Rome

Lost in the wilderness, so far from home

Yeah, yeah

I’ve been to Africa, looking for my soul

And I feel like an actor looking for a role

I’ve been in Arabia, I’ve seen a million stars

Been sipping champagne on the boulevards – yes

I’m so sick and tired

Trying to turn the tide, yeah

So I’ll say my goodbye

Laugh, laugh

I nearly died

I’ve been down to India, but it froze my bones

I’m living for the city, but I’m all alone

I’ve been travelling, but I don’t know where

I’ve been wandering, but I just don’t care

I hate to be denied

How you hurt my pride

I feel pushed aside

But laugh, laugh, laugh

I nearly died

Been travelling far and wide

Wondering who’s going to be my guide

Living in a fantasy but it’s way too far

But this kind of loneliness is way too hard

I’ve been wandering, feeling all alone

I lost my direction and I lost my home…Well

I’m so sick and tired

Now I’m on the side

Feeling so despised

When you laugh, laugh

I almost died

(Been travelling far and wide

Wondering who’s going to be my guide)

I hurt my pride, hurt my pride, hurt my pride (Been travelling far and wide)

Been travelling, yeah

(Been travelling far and wide

Wondering who’s going to be my guide)

(Been travelling far and wide)
