Neil Young - The Old Laughing Lady lyrics

Don't call pretty peggy, she can't hear you no more<br>Don't leave no message 'round her back door.<br>They say the old laughing lady been here before<br>She don't keep time, she don't count score.<br><br>You can't have a cupboard if there ain't no wall.<br>You got to move there's no time left to stall.<br>They say the old laughing lady dropped by to call<br>And when she leaves, she leaves nothing at all.<br><br>See the drunkard of the village falling on the street.<br>Can't tell his ankles from the rest of his feet.<br>He loves his old laughing lady 'cause her taste is so sweet.<br>But his laughing lady's loving ain't the kind he can keep.<br><br>There's a fever on the freeway, blacks out the night.<br>There's a slipping on the stairway, just don't feel right<br>And there's a rumbling in the bedroom and a flashing of light<br>There's the old laughing lady, everything is all right.
