St. Vincent - The Laughing Man lyrics

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
