Long Time Jerk

[Verse 1]

Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots

As they were dancing in the evening

And the light shone through the trees

This girl my eye was following

Asked the band to play her a beat

Singin' she'd do that long time jerk

She hit me where it hurts

Oh your heart

Now my heart will burst

Oh no

[Verse 2]

Ah, but it took me back to wonderland

I witnessed long ago

Babblin' words of preachers

Saying "Don't bury me no more"

Oh

[Pre-Chorus]

And I've forgotten how to worry

And I don't know how to run

Against the odds I realize

This struggle could be won

We dance

[Chorus]

Long time jerk

She did it to me first

Oh, my heart

With that long time jerk

Say, do that long time jerk

[Verse 3]

Bring on those tapes from the past

You look better in a mirror

Feel that long time jerkin'

Between the taker and the giver

Feel that

[Chorus]

Long time jerk

She did it to me first

Oh, my heart

With that long time jerk

Say, do that long time jerk

[Bridge]

I've forgotten how to worry

And I don't know how to run

Against the odds I realize

This struggle could be fun!

Oh, through lanes and streets and houses

And reversing rush of time

She made me reinvent the world

Before inventing time

(Before invented time)

[Chorus]

Long time jerk

She did it to me first

Oh, my heart

With that long time jerk

Say, do that long time jerk

[Outro]

Long, long, long, long, long

Long time

Long time jerk
