Songtexte She’s a Jar - Live at The Pageant, St. Louis, MO 7/23/02 - Wilco

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 on 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 underneath

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

Well, 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
With feelings hid, she begs me not to hit her

Thank you, that was snoozing
Thank you
