The Worst Joke Ever

R.E.M.


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
