St Vincent - The Laughing Man Lyrics
Official




9-1-1 (9-1-1, what's your emergency?)
I'm in love (I see, so how can I help you?)
I can hear the angels sweeping
So why do I feel like sleeping?

Little birds, little birds
Chirp, chirp, chirp
Singing like the day is perfect
But to me they sound psychotic

I know you're gone
You left the scene
Heaven had more important things
But I can't sleep

I know you'd know exactly what I mean
If life's a joke
Then I'm dying laughing

Brown liquor
Why not? Sure
Like the heroines of Cassavetes
I'm underneath the influence daily

Remember when (remember when)
We were kids (just kids)
Best of friends (best of friends)
All grass stains and chicken dinners
Menthol mouths and secret stitches
Half pipes and PlayStations
Suicidal ideation

I know you're gone
You dropped the scene
Left all of your guitars to me
But I can't play

I know you know exactly what I'm saying
If life's a joke
Then I'm dying laughing
