Tell Me a Joke Songtext
von Quadeca

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

Laughin' 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 (humerus)
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 hearin' it?
All of the cameras were pointin′ 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
