St Vincent The Laughing Man Lyrics
The Laughing Man by St. Vincent
911
(911, what's your emergency?)
I'm in love
(I see, so how can I help you?)
I can hear the angels weeping
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 know exactly what I need
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)
Our grass stains and chicken dinners
Millthorpe miles and secret stitches
Half pipes and Playstation
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
(911, what's your emergency?)
I'm in love
(I see, so how can I help you?)
I can hear the angels weeping
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 know exactly what I need
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)
Our grass stains and chicken dinners
Millthorpe miles and secret stitches
Half pipes and Playstation
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
