Lyrics

Quiet Laughter - drawing by Harvey Dog 2020 for the 1992 Bad Etiquette song "Quiet Laughter".

When the whippoorwill
repeats whisperingly
as the head ruptures and cracks
under pressure intensified,
never-ending, unchanging,
holding on to the
last thread of
laughter
…quietly
…repeating
…a siren’s wail.

A siren’s wail
outside my window,
please pass me by
not like last time.

I’m hiding behind the curtains,
cause I’m scared
…and it’s dark.

Go back to the beach
you siren’s wail.
Hahahaha.

The quiet laughter,
I’m holding on to it,
I’m OK,
Please pass me by
not like last time,
please pass me by.
