Laura Laurent

Yea, I thought you were beautiful but I wept with your movements
Your thoughts have always laid close to mine, we were both skippin' supper
Do you know we're in high demand? Laura us, people who suffer
Laura, you were the saddest song in the shape of a woman
But I hope that you're laughin' now from that place on the carpet
La, la, la, la

But you should never be embarrassed by, your trouble with livin'
I think I would call tonight, if I still had your number
Where we shared a sleepin' bag in your sister's apartment
My eyes seemed to follow you, like a hated addiction

But she asked me to care for you, yes she did and I went and betrayed her

'Cause it's the ones with the sorest throats, Laura

To ride the commuter train West to Chicago

Who have done the most singing, everybody
To stroll through the greenery in the park past the statues
La, la, la, la
Oh, how she would worry so, you know I was just a stranger
La, la, la, la
Because we don't take to arguing and we're quick to surrender
The beauty carved out of absolutes, you could never claim or even envision
