Rem The Worst Joke Ever lyrics

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
