Jeremy

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 
And the boy was something 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 (29x) 
Woooooohhh...spoke in, 
spoke in Woooooohhh...
uh huh, uh huh... 



Footsteps 

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...

Aah...don't even think about gettin' inside
Voices in me head...ooh, 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
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...



Yellow Ledbetter

Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
Then you said I wanna leave it again
Once I saw him on a beach of weathered sand
And on the sand, I wanna leave it again, yeah...
On a weekend, on a visit on her way, yeah...
And they called and I said, and 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, ooh...I don't know there's something else
I wanna drum it all away
And I said, I don't, 
I don't know 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, oh...
I don't wanna stay...  (3x)
I don't, don't wanna...yeah...ooh...oh...
