Jeremy (Single)
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops, with him on top
Lemon yellow sun, arms raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked, oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurtin', ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day, oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today (3x)
Woo (14x)
Try to forget this, try to forget this
Try to erase this, try to erase this
From the blackboard
Jeremy spoke in class today (2x)
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in (2x)
Jeremy spoke in class today
Woo (30x)
Uh whoa
(Spoke in, spoke in) (2x)
Uh whoa, uh whoa, ayayayayayaya, yeah
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, yeah
Uh huh (9x)
Don't even think about reachin' me, I won't be home
Don't even think about stoppin' by, don't think of me at all
I did, what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you
Ah, don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in me head oh, voices
I got scratches all over my arms
One for each day since I fell apart
I did oh, what I had to do, if there was a reason, it was you
Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you oh
Pictures on my chest, it was you, it was you
Hey, I did, what I had to do oh, and if there was a reason
Oh, there wasn't no reason, no
Oh, and if, there's something you'd like to do
Just let me continue to blame you
Footsteps in the hall, it was you, you, oh
Pictures on my chest, it was you, you, oh
Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said, "I wanna leave it again"
Once I saw her on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand I wanna leave it again, yeah
On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away, yeah
And they called and I said that I want what I said
And then I call out again
And the reason, oughta' leave her calm, I know
I said, "I know what I wear, not a boxer or the bag"
Ah yeah, can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah
And I know and I know I don't want to stay
Make me cry
I see, oh, I don't know why there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
Oh, I said, I don't, I don't know a-where there's a boxer or the bag'
Ah yeah, can you see them?
Out on the porch, yeah, but they don't wave
I see them, round the front way, yeah
And I know, and I know, I don't wanna stay alone
I don't wanna stay, yeah
I don't wanna stay (2x)
I don't, don't wanna, oh, yeah, oh, oh
