Only Charming When You Smile #3

Most songs are sacred But some just aren't safe When our speech stammers each letter comes late Eyes dwindle Too rapidly to translate Every desperate impulse and remnant of our fate Oh Laughlin There's not much else to say Except I try not to think of you that often Oh Laughlin Like a damp paper plate Looked scared and exhausted in the rain Oh Laughlin You're not looking great In fact you're looking fit for a coffin Oh Laughlin Give it to Brooklyn or the banks One last laugh at our bodies as they fade Cause darling it's only charming when you smile In cocaine mirrors or a passing bus Even if it's been a while My open mouth 'round a blunderbuss Otherwise walking the aisle Cause darling it's only charming when you smile
