Laughing with a Mouth of Blood

  • Just like an amnesiac
    Trying to get my senses back
    (Oh, where did they go?)

    Laughing with a mouth of blood
    From a little spill I took
    (Oh, what are you laughing at?)

    See I traded my plot of land
    For a plane to anywhere
    (Oh, where do you go?)

    And I can't see the future
    But I know its got big plans for me
    (Oh what does it see?)

    All of my old friends aren't so friendly
    All of my old haunts are now all haunting me

    Holed up at the motel ritz
    With a televangelist (Oh what did he say?)

    At the bottom of a swimming pool
    With all the water out of it
    (How'd you get in there?)

    I'm sending consolation prizes to my next of kin, allies
    (Oh, they'll be so thrilled)

    I can't see the future
    But I know it's watching me
    (wonder what it sees)

    All of my old friends aren't so friendly
    All of my old haunts are now all haunting me


    Tell my sister that I miss her
    Tell my brother that it gets much easier

    Tell my sister that I miss her
    Tell my brother that it gets much easier


    All of my old friends aren't so friendly
    And all of my old haunts are now all haunting me

    All of my old friends aren't so friendly
    And all of my old haunts are now all haunting me Writer/s: ANNE ERIN CLARK
