Regina Spector on NPR

The new Regina Spector album is available to listen to (in its entirety) on NPR today.

Fun stuff.

(from 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 their airplane
Starts to uncontrollably shake

No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love hand in handwith someone else and they hope that they’re mistaken /

But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke  /

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
