Lyrics:
JEREMY
At home Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops With him on top
Lemon yellow sun Arms raised in a V
Dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little *** But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth And bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting Dropped wide open
Just like the day Like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't
wear King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today Jeremy spoke in class today
Try to forget this... Try to erase this...
From the blackboard.
BLACK
Hey... oooh...
Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay
Were laid spread out before me as her body once did.
All five horizons revolved around her soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh, and all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore
And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds of what was everything.
Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
I take a walk outside, I'm surrounded by some kids at play
I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear? Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my
head, I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning, how quick the sun can drop away
And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything
All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll
be... yeah...
Uh huh... uh huh... ooh...
I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star in somebody else's
sky, But why, why, why can't it be, can't it be
mine?
Aah... uuh..
Too doo doo too, too doo doo [many times until fade]
