Regina Spektor - Laughing With.



No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one's laughing at God
When they're starving or freezing or so very poor

No one laughs at God
When the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one's laughing at God
When it's gotten real late
And their kid's not back from the party yet

No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one's laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they're mistaken

No one laughs at God
When the cops knock on their door
And they say we got some bad news, sir
No one's laughing at God
When there's a famine or fire or flood

But God can be funny
At a cocktail party when listening to a good God-themed joke, or
Or when the crazies say He hates us
And they get so red in the head you think they're 'bout to choke
God can be funny,
When told he'll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha

No one laughs at God on the day they realize
That the last sight they'll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one's laughing at God when they're saying their goodbyes

No one's laughing at God
We're all laughing with God

THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILBLE... something is "lost in translation"

Could comment it on an other ground but this one coul incite your "Second Sense... which we know, you like above other things...

please, please, beware...
One must care about availability,IF NOT, in a general way, things, (and sometimes people and other precious items), may be lost ...matter of Fair and Timely choices...

In the meantime I will wait more common ground... I recognize this one was a bit unreasonable...
cordially...

there it goes: a long comment compensating a long writen silence:

after all the video is allready available and nice... so I lost the pretext!

but nevertheless remains the basic idéia and we believe you will understand,
again playng with second senses, not second thoughts!... if not...

well, about the song and the video...
the Lyrics are poor,
but may be funny to replace the name of GOD by a few other words, with almost the same meaning but in a more subtel contexts,
One; you, us, me; we may look a bit sad, chanching glasses in order to better see ...and be seen, by the entities that we should never lost in sight, in it's full meanig and dimension..
The Gods, and other Kind Entities , d'ont like to feel like "those things that no body wants any more",I learned that by experiencing them;
they generally are very sensitive and because of that all of them claim Constancy and,
because they Are a Part of Us, meaning the Self... they equaly call for loyalty... if not,
they may even turn us against our own more delicate beliefs.

...and all this speech about a so very simple song...
nevertheles a very serious and future subject

once more
cordially and your's
