[Verse 1]
He steps up to the microphone but forgets what he's about to say
Looking for an exit but he wanders the opposite way
Mumbling something 'bout a record from some twenty years ago
Then he's shaking hands with shadows that nobody else can know
[Chorus]
Oh, Joe's eating ice cream while the country's in a spin
Getting lost on his own lawn, wondering where he's been
Can't finish up a sentence, got no clue what's going on
He's talking to the empty air until the day is gone
[Verse 2]
The papers talk of funny business, whispers in the dark
But he's focused on his double scoop, sitting in the park
A teleprompter reading that he mutters out of line
While the folks back home are wondering if everything is fine
[Chorus]
Oh, Joe's eating ice cream while the country's in a spin
Getting lost on his own lawn, wondering where he's been
Can't finish up a sentence, got no clue what's going on
He's talking to the empty air until the day is gone
[Outro]
Just a waffle cone and a blank stare
Walking off the stage to nowhere
[End]
