(introduction)

Ladies and gentlemen. He headed out West looking for the best.


And he's here tonight because he's got a lot to get off his chest.


Here he is, ladies and gentlemen. None other than Daniel D Johnston

Thank you. Thank you very much for that lovely introduction. Thank you very much.





a one, a two, a one, a two




Listen, folks, I gotta tell you now
I've been singing the blues and walking the cow

I tell you my soul's like running water
Hot or cold now one or the other


I guess I lean toward the excessive
But that's just the way it is
When you're a manic depressive


An angel appeared to me and told me
If you want love you gotta give

Let me tell you now it's been a long hard summer
And I feel every bit, every bit more dumber


Don't know where it is I'm gonna go
Heard somebody say 'keep punching, Joe'
Keep punching, Joe

Keep punching, Joe
Keep punching
Dial 'P' for pest control


Ah. Now let me tell you about my family
You know they've been right there beside me

Through all this time that I've been low
They've been punching Joe




Keep Punching Joe

Kick him right in the face!




Keep Punching Joe
Kick him. when he's down





Keep Punching Joe

Kick him. Kick him when he's low.



I've got something to get off my chest

I've got something to get off my chest
Yes, I've got something to get off my chest


How am I supposed to give love
If I never got love
And what the heck am I punching for

And how am I to look God in the face
When I feel so much disgrace?
Now, that's better off my chest

Than out of my mind.
Keep punching, Joe! Woo!
