lyrics

He was a doozy, he'd knock you dead with charm
She was a floozy so she naturally dove into his arms
(I bet their kids will look divine)
It was about that time I shut the TV set
And started wondering if life was just a joke I didn't get
(Waiting for the punchline...)

Where is the punch line, where is the twist?
Is there a deeper truth or is there just a gist?
There are a thousand stories I would tell if only they were true
and a million thoughts I've never had if life is deja vu
Is there something I missed?
Now I am through with this.

I got to drinking, what else was there to do?
I got to thinking we're just metaphors from someone's point of view
(Just lines in conversation)
With one-way mirrors through which we may not see
Our mastermind peers in and probes our cosmic surreality
(It's time to go to sleep)

I drew the blinds and stumbled into bed
with troubled mind I tried to fall asleep but I woke up instead
(Into the superdimension)
The beings there had never heard of planet earth
they vaporized my essence but they told me they would hasten my rebirth
(Into a world of huge headaches)
