Joe Tennis Redeemed Lyrics - Singles - The World / Inferno Friendship Society

Joe Tennis chased the one good idea 

he'd had his whole life. 

And when he finally caught up with it 

he did what he thought was right. 

So he watched the idea's tail-lights 

fade down the highway, 

and with them the hope that 

his life could be any other 

way than how he found it 

how he found it 

how he found it 

What was Joe Tennis thinking at the time? 

'I'll let my idea 

go, if it comes back to me its mine.' 

But the idea hung a left 

and become a faint spark on distant horizon. 

The Idea knew things that Joe never did 

and It smiled to itself 

behind the wheel and lit a ciagrette, 

when a frown of a thought 

crossed The Idea's mind, 

because if it, and you and I, think 

we know Joe's kind, 

then how had Mr. Tennis ever found it? 

And he found it, twice.
