Billy Joel – Laura Lyrics  Share

From Billy Joel's album: The Nylon Curtain

Laura
Calls me
In the middle of the night

Passes on her
Painful information
Then these careless fingers
They get caught in her vice

Til they^,re bleeding
On my coffee table
Living alone isn^,t all that
It^,s cracked up to be

I^,m on her side
Why does she push the poison on me?

Laura
Has a very hard time
All her life has
Been one long disaster
Then she tells me
She suddenly believes she^,s seen
A very good sign
She^,ll be taking
Some aggressive action
I fight her wars
While she^,s slamming her doors
In my face

Failure to break
Was the only mistake
That she made

Here I am
Feeling like a fucking fool
Do I react the way exactly
She intends me to?

Everytime I think I^,m off the hook
She makes me lose my cool
I^,m her machine
And she can punch all the keys
And she can push any button I was programmed through

[ Laura lyrics from

Laura
Calls me
When she needs a good fix
All her questions
Will get sympathetic answers
I should
Be so
Immunized
To all of her tricks

She^,s surviving
On her second chances
Sometimes I feel like this
Godfather deal is all wrong

How can she hold an umbilical chord
For so long?

I^,ve done everything I can
What else am I supposed to do
I^,m her machine
And she can punch all the keys
And she can push any button
I was programmed through

Laura
Loves me
Even if I don^,t care

That^,s my problem
That^,s her sacred absolution
If she had to
She would put herself in my chair
Even though I
Faced electrocution
She always says
I^,m the best friend that
She^,s ever had

How do you
Hang up on someone
Who needs you that bad?
