Jokes

I'm sensing a vision
It's within my grasp
So why can't I reach it
It flys by so fast
It's not the type of problem where I can ask for help
This one I gotta do myself, oh well
Not to mention, I'm surrounded by fog
And the lights keep flickering off

Did you want honesty or at least something more clear
Can I make up anything to find it's something else you hear
Never mind the messages you take
I can't be concerned about what's considered fake
I just wanna come up with some jokes
I'm scavenging for material

I'm just a comic with jokes in my pocket
While they're staring at me
If I keep the rule in mind
It's in the rhythm and in the time
Maybe I can keep them laughing

Behind the curtains, I practice impressions
As they're seating the sections
And whether the heads show up or not
These are the jokes I've got
And I might wander off into a story
You might find my routine kinda corny

I'm just a comic with jokes in my pocket
While they're staring at me
If I keep the rule in mind
It's in the rhythm and in the time
Maybe I can keep 'em laughing

If I run out of things to say
Just continue to stare as if nobody's there
But don't catch my sweat, I'll pretend to not care
Will I take the loss and try out another day
Hope you think I'm funny
