Lyrics




Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots
As they were dancing in the evening
And the light shone through the trees
This girl, my eyes following
Asked the band to play her a beat
Singin' she'd do that long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Ooh, your heart
Now my heart will burst
I don't know
Ah, but it took me back to that wonderland
I witnessed long ago
Babbling words of preachers
Sayin', "Don't bury me no more"
Whoa
And I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realize
This struggle could be won
We danced long time jerk
She did it to me first
Oh, my heart, with that long time jerk
Ah, said do that long time jerk
Bring on those tapes from the past
They make you look better in a mirror
Feel that long time jerkin'
Between the taker and the giver
Feel that long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Oh, I felt my heart
Now my heart will burst
I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realize
This struggle could be fun
Oh, through lanes and streets and houses
And reversing rush of time
She made me re-invent the world
Before inventing time
(Before I inventing time)
Long time jerk
Oh, she hit me where it hurts
Ooh, my heart
Long time jerk
Long, long, long, long, long
Long, long time
Long time jerk
As they were dancing in the evening
And the light shone through the trees
This girl, my eye was following
Asked the band to play her a beat
They play that long term jerk
And they played it 'til it hurts
Ooh, that sound, now my heart will burst
Long, long, long
Long time jerk
Long time jerk
That long time jerk
Well, she did it to me first
And tif that was not to hurt
Well, my heart it will burst
Long time jerk
She said, "Do that long time jerk
I'll do it 'til it hurts
I'll make you shout and curse
With that long time jerk"
