A track from a forthcoming album with the working title, If I Stop Laughing, I'll Cry. Chris Barron, lead singer of the band, Spin Doctors, enters the studio to cut a stripped down, acoustic guitar driven, song oriented solo record.

lyrics

angels and one armed jugglers
or, if i stop laughing i’ll cry

angels and one armed jugglers
sword swallowers and smugglers
good old adelaide, she must be long gone
she once was a looker
and a hell of a hoofer
and we never stayed thirsty for long

i smile when i’m weepy
coffee makes me sleepy
drink champagne when i want to die
you may see me wink and grin
and think i think i’ll win
but if i stop laughing
i’ll cry
