She's a Jar (Alternate) - 2020 Remaster

She's a jar with a heavy lid
My pop quiz kid
A sleepy kisser, a pretty war
With feeling 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 abroad
The tracks of 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
