REM – The worst joke ever
You see there´s this cat burglar who can´t see in the dark
He lays his bets on 8 more lives, walks into a bar
Slips on the 8 ball, falls on his knife
Says, «I don´t know what I´ve done, but it doesn?t feel right!»
Some things don´t hold up over the course of a lifetime,
When?s the first time you heard that one, 1954?
Get to the punch line fall to the floor
Give me a minute and I´ll tell you the setup for
The worst joke ever, I never
I´ll tell you my version of the greatest life story
Don´t bore me
Now I am floating,
I feel released
The moorings have been dropped,
The weights unleashed
Everything is crystalline, simple and free
The crime of good men who can´t wrestle with change,
Or are too afraid to face this life´s misjudged unknowns
You´re not hurting anybody else?s chances,
But you´re disfiguring your own
Give me a minute and I´ll tell you the setup for
The worst joke ever, I never
I´ll tell you my version of the greatest life story
Don´t bore me, I NEVER
Give me a minute and I´ll tell you the setup
You see there´s this feeling that I´ve heard this one before
