Read the full Everybody Laughs lyrics by David Byrne along with the music video, song credits, release information and other details about the song.

[Chorus 1]
Everybody laughs and everybody cries
Everybody lives and everybody dies
Everybody eats and everybody loves
Everybody knows what everybody does

[Post-Chorus 1]
Everybody’s going through the changes
Every complication
What you say with gesture and expression
In my imagination
[Verse 1]
Every mobile phone
And every restaurant
Everyone we know
And everything you want

[Chorus 2]
Everybody wonders what you’re gonna do
Everything is closer, everything is true
Everybody’s starting everything again
Everybody’s outside, now they’re coming in

[Post-Chorus 2]
Everybody’s going through the garbage
Looking for inspiration
Someone find it staring at the ceiling
Of the subway station

[Verse 2]
Everyone you love
And every kind of way
And everything you know
And every single phase
Every change of heart
And every saving grace

Every song we sing
And every kind of place

[Chorus 3]
Everybody looks and everybody sees
Everybody’s asking everybody “please”
Everybody going everywhere at once
Everybody’s back where everybody’s from

[Bridge]
Hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey
Hey hey hey hey
Hey
Hey hey hey hey

[Chorus 4]
Everybody dances, everybody stops
Everybody wants what everybody’s got
Everybody wonders what you’re gonna do
Everybody’s way when everybody chooses
