The Laughing Man Songtext
von St. Vincent

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 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
Milkful 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
