Laughing With Lizards

lyrics

READ IT, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT
CAN YOU NOT CRY? CRY THROUGH YOUR LAUGHTER?
NO WORRIES AFTER WISDOM ARRIVES TONIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT THE TEST FOR THE BEAST I MANIFEST
WHETHER IT BE GOLEM, DYBBUK, WITCH OR WIZARD
MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER CALLS ME TO THINK WITH HER
AND WE JUST HAVE A LAUGH WITH A LIZARD

BLINKING SLOWLY AND SAVORING
THOSE MOMENTS WHEN MY EYES ARE CLOSED
NEW EVILS I WON’T KNOW, SO DON’T TRY IT
HAS EVERYONE DIED YET?
THOSE MOMENTS WHEN MY EYES ARE DRY
THEY’RE SOAKING IN A LIE
WHEN I’M STUMBLING THROUGH THE STORM
WITH NO CLUES TO KEEP ME WARM
JUST FLAPPING IN THE BEATDOWN OF THE BLIZZARD
MY GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER CALLS ME TO PLAN WITH HER
AND WE JUST HAVE A LAUGH WITH A LIZARD

YOU’RE ALIVE WITH YOUR DEAD
YOU DREAM WHAT THEY SAID
YOU CAN’T READ A LINE
ANOTHER ANGRY DANCE WHEN THERE’S LESS AND LESS OF A CHANCE
THAT NEXT YEAR YOU WILL DINE IN PALESTINE

WHEN STRAINING FOR MY VOICE, AND I’M SCRATCHING FOR A CHOICE
JUST FLAILING BETWEEN PAPER, ROCK AND SCISSOR
MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GRANDMOTHER CALLS ME TO PRAY WITH HER
AND WE JUST HAVE A LAUGH
WE JUST HAVE A LAUGH
WE JUST HAVE A LAUGH WITH A LIZARD
