Lyrics
Jeremy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
At home, drawing pictures of mountain tops
With him on top, lemon yellow Sun
Arms raised in a V
The dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy, the wicked
Oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember picking on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Oh, but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Oh, dropped wide open
Just like the day
Oh, like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy, the wicked
Oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this
Try to erase this
From the blackboard
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in class today
(Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
(Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
(Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
(Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
(Spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
