The Leper Lyrics

Dinosaur Jr.

Embarrassed to be alive
Sit with my life, open wide
Your stare is forcing my face open
A leper crumbling, never joking
Who should I believe
Safest to wallow in my own esteem
Afraid, stick my neck out
Knowing the day has drawn
Im a leper
Scared beyond this feeling
I dare to escape
A leper
Doomed to this
My life is chosen to rape
Embarrassed to be alive
Sit with my life open wide
Your stare is forcing my face open
A leper crumbling never joking
Im a leper
Scared beyond this feeling
I dare to escape
A leper
Doomed to this
My life is chosen to rape
[listen to this solo!]
Im a leper
Leper
Leper
