Lyrics

[00:22.78] Don't call pretty Peggy, she can't hear you no more
[00:36.55] Don't leave no message 'round her back door
[00:47.72] They say the old laughing lady been here before
[01:01.35] She don't keep time, she don't count score
[01:24.65] You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall
[01:38.10] You got to move there's no time left to stall
[01:48.93] They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call
[02:03.78] And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all
[02:23.42] See the drunkard of the village falling on the street
[02:36.99] Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet
[02:47.97] He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet
[03:01.50] But his laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep
[04:17.87] There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night
[04:30.28] There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right
[04:42.62] And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light
[04:55.51] There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right
