She's a Jar

Lyrics

She's a jar with a heavy lid
 My pop quiz kid, a sleepy kisser
 A pretty war with feelings hid
 She begs me not to miss her
 ♪
 She says forever to light a fuse
 We could use a handful of wheel
 And a day off, and a bruised road
 However you might feel
 Tonight is real
 ♪
 When I forget how to talk, I sing
 Won't you please bring that flash to shine?
 And turn my eyes red unless they close
 When you click and my face gets sick
 Stuck, like a question unposed
 ♪
 Just climb aboard
 The tracks of a train's arm
 In my fragile family tree
 And watch me floating inches above
 The people under me
 ♪
 Please, beware the quiet front yard
 I warned you before there were water skies
 I warned you not to drive
 Dry your eyes, you poor devil
 ♪
 Are there really ones like these?
 The ones I dream float like leaves
 And freeze to spread skeleton wings
 I passed through before I knew you
 ♪
 I believe it's just because
 Daddy's payday is not enough
 Oh, I believe it's all because
 Daddy's payday is not enough
 ♪
 Just climb aboard
 The tracks of a train's arm
 In my fragile family tree
 And watch me floating inches above
 The people under me
 ♪
 She's a jar with a heavy lid
 My pop quiz kid, a sleepy kisser
 A pretty war with feelings hid
 You know she begs me not to hit her
