I bought tickets to see Jonathan Coulton next month and am very excited about it.
Last week I got e-mail from JoCo
It said the future's great sent personally
Turns out he's playing close to where I live
Well not really close but I'll drive that far
I can't go alone cause my wife said no
But she told me to go with some guys that I know
Gotta get ready for a road trip and I can't hardly sleep
Even though it's only August and he plays in April
Cause I'm gonna see Jon Coulton soon
I can't wait to see him play
Cause he makes the things that are weird and strange seem normal and mundane
Gonna see Jon Coulton soon
And Paul and Storm will be there
And when my life is boring, I can close my eyes and he's already here
I wonder if he'll play I'm Still Alive
Singing distorted in that robotic voice
I plan on singing with him quite loudly
I hope other patrons won't mind if I'm off
Blurting out some of the lyrics wrong
I hope that my memory doesn't fail
I will do my best to learn them
And get training vocally
I just hope that I can get it and he'll soon tour with me
Cause I'm gonna see Jon Coulton soon
I can't wait to see him play
Cause he makes the things that are weird and strange seem normal and mundane
Gonna see Jon Coulton soon
And Paul and Storm will be there
And when my life is boring, I can close my eyes and he's already
Here at home she wonders
Why I grow my beard and never shave
And the clothes and glasses will make me whole
I won't be returning home
I'll make Coulton's life my own
I'll see him standing by the backstage door
He'll look at me and greet me with a hello
I'll call my sidekicks to drive the car around
I'll say I'm sorry and stuff him in the trunk
Real quickly
Crowds eye me suspiciously
Hearing the songs not in JoCo?s own voice
But they listen and sing along
And clap and change their minds
When this bad impersonator gives them the time of their lives
Well, I'm gonna be Jon Coulton soon
And I won't always be this way
When I take his place up on the stage and pull in JoCo pay
I'm gonna be Jon Coulton soon
And Paul and Storm will be there
Cause when I am successful I'll remember him and wish that he was here.
