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 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 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

My feelings hid

She begs me not to hit her
