Punchline Songtext
von Matt Keating

I′ve been taking the shortcut
Marking my territory
Keeping the door shut
On another story
You want me to man up
I can't wake up that early
I just wanna clam up
And try to look surly

I keep delivering the punch line
Way too early
This joke′s going nowhere
But the riddle gets solved
By leaving alone


I've been using the back door
I've been keeping my own score
Scraping the bottom
Off of the top floor
You know I keep minimizing
All those expectations
Find a horizon
On each situation

I keep delivering the punch line
Way too early
This joke′s going nowhere
But the riddle gets solved
By leaving alone
Just leaving alone
Just leaving alone
Just leaving alone

I′ve been taking apart now
What's been getting streamlined
Taking the cart now
Before the horse makes his own mind
I just keep on reading
The wrong page of your Bible
The one where he′s bleeding
Before the hero's arrival

I keep delivering the punch line
Way too early


This road′s going nowhere
But the coast becomes clear
By leaving alone

I'm just leaving alone
When I leave it alone
I′m just leaving alone
I'm just leaving alone
(I've been taking the shortcut)
When I leave it alone
(Marking my territory)
I′m just leaving alone
(Keeping the door shut)
I′m just leaving alone
