lyrics

I thought that I was funny
until I told a joke
and you would’ve thought that I
taught a baby how to smoke

Empty expressions turned up at where I stood
and I sweated for another minute for the common good
of the room’s discomfort and my own sweaty face
I felt as far as I could be from a warm, welcome place

And in between the silence and groans
I melted into a pool of skin and bones

I thought that I was funny
until I told a joke
and you would’ve thought that I
let a poor old woman choke

I waited for a stage light to fall onto my head
so a superior comedian could take my place instead
