Wilco – She's a Jar Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
Just climb aboard
The tracks of the trains on
In my fragile family tree
And watch me floating inches above
The people under me
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Hook]
[Outro]
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
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
Just climb aboard
The tracks of the trains on
In my fragile family tree
And watch me floating inches above
The people under me
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Hook]
[Outro]
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
