Dinosaur Jr. - In a Jar lyrics

I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
Just want to find out what
You're nice to me for when I look up
Don't think I don't know about
All the scabs you dread
It's hard to stomach the gore
I know you don't have the patience
To peel 'em off no more

In a jar where you fed me
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand

I'll be grazing by your window
Please come pat me on the head
I just wanna find out what
You're nice to me for
Then you smile and decide to take me in
'Cause, I look cute by your bed


But, I can feel it's just a little more

I'll watch you fall apart, babe, you know it
You know I'm young and stuff, babe
Don't blow it just unscrew the top, yeah
Pick me up now, just can't stop

In a jar where you fed me
All I could do was lick your hand
In a jar the scars are plain to see
I hope somehow you'll know I understand

Scabs collect beneath your bureau
From the knifings you got
