Frank Black - Sing For Joy lyrics

Georgie Porgie used to get real high He used to kiss the world till it made him cry He was under the bottle's command But one winter he got it together and And happiness came with the warmer weather Laying across all the land He had a love she liked to drink She got it together, but you know what I think? I think she was still feeling glum She got a gun and she shot him in the head She shot herself and so they were wed As the air conditioner hummed Sing for joy Sing for laughs Sing for joy Sing for joy If nothing else Sing for joy Mama k**ed a pumpkin, she thought it was a sweet She put it on the table, but it was still meat She forgot the sugar again Daddy came home, she had tears in her eyes He said "Gimme grilled cheese and paperbag French fries" See, he forgot the sugar again We had a wander seven years out West It wasn't exactly the wilderness But I felt like an Israelite Mama is a gypsy, she'll never find her town Daddy went to sea but the boat went down And the flames shot into the night Sing for joy Sing for laughs Sing for joy Sing for joy If nothing else Sing for joy I know a girl who lives on the hill I don't know if her sister will Or I was thinking about her best friend Oh, listen to me, I'm a desperate boy I think I better have a sing for joy And I guess this has just got to end I'll get away in my getaway car Every now and then I'll send my regards From a payphone down in the flats I'm sorry for the love, I'm sorry for the pain I'll say I'm sorry baby, again and again I'm sorry we're joining the stats Sing for joy Sing for laughs Sing for joy Sing for joy If nothing else Sing for joy
