tell me a joke

(album: I Didn't Mean To Haunt You - 2024)

Knock knock, who's there?
I wanna know
Tell me a joke
I've got one for you
A man walked into a bar
What's the deal with airline food?
That reminds me of my ex-wife

Knock knock, who's there? Tell me the truth
A familiar shadow that everyone knew
Reached through the walls, you saw right through
Laughing at you, I had so many things left to do
And it's funny, you said it's too soon
Stuck in the red, came out the blue
How am I doing this?
Bone dry skeleton, humorous
I tried to walk myself out of the ground

All I could hear were the crickets
Funny the joke is on me
I tried hard not to miss it
Everything I couldn't be
Ha-ha
Laugh to the grave
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Laugh to the grave

Knock knock, who's there? Tell me a joke
Something feels off, was it words that I spoke?
Or was it something else? The door must've broke
How can it be? It's a setup, the punchline was me
Over my head, I couldn't see
Reached through the walls, felt for a key
I'm a social experiment
Aren't you relieved to be hearing it?
All of the cameras were pointing away

All I could hear were the crickets
Funny the joke is on me
I tried hard not to miss it
Everything I couldn't be
Ha-ha
Laugh to the grave
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Laugh to the grave

All I could hear were the crickets
Funny the joke is on me
I tried hard not to miss it
Everything I couldn't be
Ha-ha
Laugh to the grave
Ha-ha, ha-ha
Laugh to the grave
