Laughter

A laugh for the way my life has gone

a laugh for the love of a friend

a laugh for the fools in the eyes of the world

the love that will never end

Ha Ha Ha...

Let's hear a laugh for the man of the world

who thinks he can make things work

tried to build the New Jerusalem

and ended up with New York

Ha Ha Ha...

A laugh for the sun redballing

through the thermal inversion haze

a laugh for the nuclear good-time boys

numbering all our days

Ha Ha Ha...

A laugh for the newsprint nightmare

a world that never was

where the questions are all "why"

and the answers are all "because"

Ha Ha Ha...

A laugh for the dogs barking at our heels

they don't know where we've been

a laugh for the dirty window pane

hiding the love within

Ha Ha Ha...

Tapping our feet to an ancient tune

a laugh for the time gone by

a laugh for me and Kitty in the delivery room

waiting for the child's first cry

Ha Ha Ha...
