She's a jar
A sleepy kisser
My pop quiz kid
With a heavy lid
With feelings hid
She begs me not to miss her
She says forever
To light a fuse
We could use
A hand full of wheel
And a day off
And a bruised road
However you might feel
When I forget how to talk I sing
Tonight is real
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 unopposed
Just climb aboard
The tracks of a train's arm
In my fragile family tree
The people under me
And watch me floating inches above [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/w/wilco/shes_a_jar.html ]
Please beware the quiet front yard
Before there were water skies
I warned you
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
I passed through before I knew you
I believe it's just because
And freeze to spread skeleton wings
Daddy's payday is not enough
Oh I believe it's all because
Daddy's payday is not enough
In my fragile family tree
Just climb aboard
The tracks of a train's arm
And watch me floating inches above
The people under me
My pop quiz kid
She's a jar
With a heavy lid
A sleepy kisser
A pretty war
My feelings hid
She begs me not to hit her
She's a jar with a heavy lid
my pop quiz kid
a sleepy kisser
a pretty war
with feelings hid
ya know she begs me not to miss her
She says forever
to light a fuse
we could use
a hand full 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 imposed
Just climb aboard
the tracks of a train's arm
in my fragile family tree
and watch me floating inches above the people underneath
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 underneath
She’s a jar with a heavy lid
my pop quiz kid
a sleepy kisser, a pretty war
with feelings hid
ya know she begs me not to hit her
