"Laugh Away The Pain (DEMO)" lyrics

There's a man who begs on the corner of my street
His hands they feel like turtle's feet
My quarter feels hopeless in his insanity
The spiritual irony

How can one so sad still be so happy?
He told me
"Laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain"

There's a woman who walks up and down my street
Hoping to find a somebody to meet
To ease the big black vacancy
Oh, talk to me, oh talk to me

How can one so sad still be so happy?
She told me
"Laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain"

I see her
She's getting up off her knees
She's, she's, she's smiling now
She's reaching her arms up into the sky

There's a woman behind our fence
Brings her customers and pulls down their pants
The horny Mexican
The wheelchair victim
The frustrated husband

How can one so sad still be so happy?
She told me
"Laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain

Laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain
Laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain, laugh away the pain"
