Lyrics Larry Norman

Larry Norman

Ha Ha World

Ha, ha, world

Everyday I used to write you a letter

But you never wrote back

And you never made me feel any better

Always sitting here

Fretting and getting confused

Halfway desperate

For a headline of hope in the news

When the telephone rang

I spilled it all over my sweather

The call was for me

And I answered the phone in the kitchen

But the room was too hot

I forgot I was cooking my chicken

I was burning like hell

But the stove wasn't on

Then the voice on the line

Says the chicken is gone

The reciever goes dead and it

Hums while the plot starts to thicken

Would I have hung up the phone had I known

The whole room would start swaying

I was instantly cold

And I knew why my life wasn't paying

I had money and fame

But my wealth wasn't wise

What good are the coins on a dead man's eyesv and the

Ringing of chimes in my head

Said it's time to start praying

I been sitting here praying

And laying up treasures in heavenv I was home and the

Front door was locked

When the clock struck eleven

I heard the bride outside yell millenium

Though the sun was still up

The twelfth hour has come

The bible says

Without a vision the people perish
