In A Jar Lyrics

Dinosaur Jr.

Ill be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what youre nice to me for
When I look up, dont think I dont know
About all the scabs you dread
Its hard to stomach the gore
I know you dont have the patience
To peel them off no more
In a jar where you believe
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow youll know I understand
Ill be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just want to find out what youre nice to me for
Then you smile and decide to take me in
cause I look you by your bed
But I can feel it just a little more
Ill watch you fall apart, babe you know it
You know Im young and stuff, babe dont blow it
Just unscrew the top, yeah
Pick me up now just cant stop
In a jar where you believe
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar where scars are plain to see
I hope somehow youll know I understand
Scabs collect beneath your bureau
From the knife wounds you got
