In a Jar by Dinosaur Jr. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Scabs collect beneath your bureau
From the knifings you got
