Punchlines Lyrics
Waiting close by the door for us
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines you've been saving up for some 90 years
Waiting close by the door for us
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines take pity on me
It's not the same without you around
It's not the same without you
Waiting close by the door for us
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines you've been saving up for some 90 years
Waiting close by the door for us
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines take pity on me
It's not the same without you around
It's not the same without you
I've been thinking it's an afterthought
Get into the car and you aim it at the sun, boy
Can't you hear me in the aftermath
Get into the car and you point it at the west
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines you've been saving up for some 90 years
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines take pity on me
It's not the same without you
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines you've been saving up for some 90 years
Can't hardly see out but if you could
You'd make it all worth our while
Punchlines take pity on me
It's not the same without you
Get into the car and you aim it at the sun, boy
Can't you hear me in the aftermath
Get into the car and you point it at the west

saw them play this last night in berkeley...amazing. especially the part when kori yells towards the end
ahh. i saw them play in san diego last weekend and this song was amazing live.
whenever i listen to this song, i am struck with the urge to just get the hell out of dodge. "punchlines" makes me think that things are getting old in the area of life the voice is in, and they're thinking that it's time to get out and be free. especially the breakdown...
"I've been thinking it's an afterthought Get into the car and you aim it at the sun, boy Can't you hear me in the aftermath Get into the car and you point it at the west"
it lends the idea that they don't know where they're going, but they're going. and kori's scream...maybe a scream of joy at reaching liberation?
i don't know, i don't always look to the lyrics to get meaning for their songs--the tone and beat of this is what gets me. it could be something completely different from what i think, but that's why i love Mates of State.
