"Punchline" lyrics
"Punchline"
He's walking out
Head in his hands and he's too drunk to drive
He says out loud
"I've been asleep at the wheel my whole damn life"
What a difference a day makes
Oh, you started off thinking you were the top of your game
You were telling jokes with the sun rise
But by the end of the day, you were looking like a punchline
Come on now
Why don't you spin us another great line?
Tell us how
You're gonna make twenty in half the time
Fool around
While I'm breaking my back to stay above the line
What a difference a day makes
Oh, you started off thinking you were the top of your game
You were telling jokes with the sun rise
But by the end of the day, you were looking like a punchline
It's a battle cry
It's a screaming siren down the 305
It's a wedding band
Thrown out the window of a black sedan
But when the fire starts burning, you'll be begging me to start again
What a difference a day makes
Oh, you started off thinking you were the top of your game
You were telling jokes with the sun rise
But by the end of the day, you were looking like a punchline
He says out loud
"I've been asleep at the wheel my whole damn life"

I see this world is unraveling
I wonder, who...

Billie Marten - "Blue Sea, Red Sea" I stop and listen sometimes
Plug myself into your eyes
And I can see what you see and I like it
I'm a fish in a blue sea and I like it
But don't pick on me with your sympathy
I don't, I don't need...

That took my breath away
Moving slowly through westward water
Over glacial plains
And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
