Lyrics Dinosaur Jr.

Dinosaur Jr.

In a Jar

I'll be grazing by your window

Please come pat me on the head

I 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 want to 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 your new start, 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 knife wounds you got
