R.E.M. – The Worst Joke Ever Lyrics  Share

From R.E.M.'s album: Around The Sun

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 Worst Joke Ever lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/r/rem/worst-joke-ever/ ]
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
