Ludicrous Heart Lyrics by Asylum Street Spankers

The Last Laugh

0

[Verse 1]
Oh, this heart is a foolish one
It's never worked right
Beats so loudly it keeps me awake in the night
And it forces me out of bed
Pacing my floor instead
Longing for things to which it has no right
And no whiskey or wine can assuage
[Chorus]
My poor ludicrous heart
As it rattles the bars
Rattles the bars of its cage
[Verse 2]
Oh, and it speaks so persuasively
Argues convincingly
It drags me along where it wants me to go
And it bellows and yells
And it sings and it wails
And it cries out in gestures
And flips on a show
Oh, it thinks the whole world is a stage
[Chorus]
Yeah, my ludicrous heart
It just rattles the bars
Rattles the bars of its cage
[Bridge]
’Cause it's a big world out there
So much to do
And it's ready to start
So I tag along
And I pay up, I pay out
My ludicrous heart
[Verse 3]
Oh, and sometimes it feels
Like it must weigh a hundred pounds
Sometimes it’s light, so much lighter than air
Oh, but always it wants too much
Eats too much, feels too much
Loves so much more than just one heart can bear
And sometimes in a piteous rage
[Chorus x2]
My poor ludicrous heart
It just rattles the bars
Rattles the bars of its cage
Yeah, my ludicrous heart
It just rattles the bars
Rattles the bars
Rattles the bars of its cage
