Laurie
Daniel Johnston
Artistic Vice
(1990), Frankenstein Love (1992)
Once I saw the most beautiful girl
Sitting next to me
I asked her what was her name
She said it was 'Laurie'
She worked at the store and I opened that door
Just to see her face
She always made me feel at home
I never felt out of place
But
she already had a boyfriend
An
undertaker was he
And
they got married
And
had a little baby
I
became obsessed with death, my friend
Certain that it would happen to me
And
I would be in the hands
Of
my dear Laurie
I
can't explain such love aflame
I
overcame victorious
Filled my heart with such desire
So
grand and so glorious
Laurie, sweet, an angel dear
Is
here with me today
Not
a person, but a memory
With me will always stay.
