She's a Jar

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 floatin' 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 floatin' 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
