Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots
[Verse 2]
As they were dancing in the evening and the light shone through the trees
This girl my eye was following asked the band to play her beat
[Verse 3]
She said she do that long time jerk
("And I'll do it till it hurts") She hit me where it hurts
Oh, your heart
Now my heart will burst
[Verse 4]
Ah, but it took me back to wonderland I witnessed long ago
Babbling words of preachers, saying "Don't bury me no more!"
And I've forgotten how to worry and I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realise this struggle could be won
[Verse 5]
We dance
[Verse 6]
Long time jerk
She did it to me first
Oh, my heart
With that long time jerk
[Verse 7]
She said "I can do that long time jerk"
[Verse 8]
Bring on those tapes from the past when you looked better in the mirror
Feel that long time jerking between the taker and the giver
[Verse 9]
Feel that long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Ooh, I felt my heart
Now my heart will burst
[Verse 10]
I've forgotten how to worry and I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realise this struggle could be fun
Oh, through lanes and streets and houses, a reversing rush of time
She made me reinvent the world before invented time
Before invented time
[Verse 11]
Long time jerk
Oh, she hit me where it hurts
Ooh, my heart
Long time jerk
[Verse 12]
Long, long, long, long
Long, long time, long time jerk
[Verse 13]
As they were dancing in the evening and the light shone through the trees
This girl my eye was following asked the band to play her beat
[Verse 14]
They played that long time jerk
And they played it till it hurt
Oh, that sound
Now my heart will burst
[Verse 15]
Long, long, long, long time jerk
Long time jerk
[Verse 16]
That long time jerk
Oh, she did it to me first
And if that was not to hurt
Still my heart will burst
[Verse 17]
Oh, it's that long time jerk
[Verse 18]
And she said
"I can do that long time jerk
And I'll do it till it hurts
Oh, make you shout and curse
With that long time jerk"
