Recorded live at Waseda SABACO, Tokyo, on December 9, 2010. The pattern you hear is something I made on my JUNO 60 analog synth. I'm blowing a pitch pipe.
A JOKE I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
I've internalized a joke
that I don't understand
I feel like I'm a member
of some total stranger's band
I'm holding onto wisps of smoke
I need to hold your hand
I've internalized a joke
that I don't understand
the captain stepped right up to me
and threw me overboard
you're just a joke
he screamed to me
a joke I can't afford
so once again I'm set afloat
again I'm all at sea
all this water, that's the joke
that's gonna swallow me
sharks are circling all around
I know my time ain't long
but here I am as usual
with another stupid song
and I think about the captain
his wish was my command
when I internalized a joke
I didn't understand
