Jam Kids Lyrics by Pavement

Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: LA’s Desert Origins

0

[Verse 1]
On the fourth of July
In the dark of the setting, setting suns
All the jam kids came out
For they knew they had a leader
They knew they had a new man
God plagues you when you look at me like that
I'll leave you for a dollar
It’s all I need to get on my way
On my way home

[Verse 2]
I said I'm leaving
Try to break me
Lies won't break me
My heart is a carriage
And my soul is the horses
Ass

[Verse 3]
Do you think that I might phone
Is the answer to your question
I don’t know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I don't know, I don’t know
I don’t—, shit
I imagine my Christmas is not like your Bar Mitzvah
Light the candle, light the candle, burn out

[Verse 4]
Don't expect it when it goes wrong
Don’t expect much, and if it goes wrong
They will say you're the one
And your snout is like an elephant's trunk
When I'm naked I like to wrap my harvesting piece around it
Would you like my harvesting piece?
It’s a special, special piece
And I wear it for my niece
Such a cute, cute little kitty
Playing with her mittens
Why don't you
I knitted them for you
It was a private, private gift
Did you tell your mother?
If she hears about it
She'll feel bad, yeah

[Outro]
Christmas
Don't make no sense
December, December Jew
December, December Jew
December, December Jew
