A Jar Labeled Small - Killing Heidi

She's a jar with a heavy lid My pop quiz kid, a sleepy kisser A pretty war with feelings hid She begs me not to miss her She says forever to light a fuse We could use a handful of wheel And a day off, and a bruised road However you might feel Tonight is real When I forget how to talk, I sing Won't you please bring that flash to shine? And turn my eyes red unless they close When you click and my face gets sick Stuck, like a question unposed Just climb aboard The tracks of a train's arm In my fragile family tree And watch me floating inches above The people under me Please, beware the quiet front yard I warned you before there were water skies I warned you not to drive Dry your eyes, you poor devil Are there really ones like these? The ones I dream float like leaves And freeze to spread skeleton wings I passed through before I knew you I believe it's just because Daddy's payday is not enough Oh, I believe it's all because Daddy's payday is not enough Just climb aboard The tracks of a train's arm In my fragile family tree And watch me floating inches above The people under me She's a jar with a heavy lid My pop quiz kid, a sleepy kisser A pretty war with feelings hid You know she begs me not to hit her

(Bob McDill/Roger Murrah) I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark I don't ever use it anyway Don't think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging Is all I want to do these days They oughta make a plan, get a research grant And study me around the world I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar Ever since I learned about girls It was a stormy night in Georgia when I was born Daddy's greatest expectations in bodily form Teacher said I had the brightest future she'd ever seen But their hopes all ended the day I turned fourteen I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark I don't ever use it anyway Don't think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging Is all I want to do these days They oughta make a plan, get a research grant And study me around the world I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar Ever since I learned about girls Momma called the state hospital to send a doctor down She said doctor all he ever does is follow girls around Well they looked inside my head and what'cha think they saw Doctor said there ain't nothing in here at all I got my brain in a jar in the closet in the dark I don't ever use it anyway Don't think about nothing, cause kissing and hugging Is all I want to do these days They oughta make a plan, get a research grant And study me around the world I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar Ever since I learned about girls I know it's bizarre, got my brain in a jar Ever since I learned about girls
