The Laughing Man

9-1-1

(9-1-1, what's the 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)

Our grass stains and chicken dinners

Millthorpe miles 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
