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 trains 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 trains 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 With feelings hid You know she begs me not to hit her --- She's a Jar - Wilco
