lyrics

The Killing Jar

I thought I loved-
I thought I saw her
in a man whose name he said
was writ in water

And I fell in love
Or so it seemed
with a soul who saved me
In his dreams

The waiting place
Between the sun and the stars
It ended with you
In the killing jar
And it started
When my daddy bought me a star
And ended with you
In the killing jar

Hell is other people
If i lived or if I died;
And they are all the same
And you wouldn’t mind

And you wanted my soul
And you wanted me dead
And you wanted me to understand
The words that you said

The waiting place
Between the sun and the stars

It ended with you
In the killing jar
And it started
When my daddy bought me a star
And ended with you
In the killing jar

(br) I’ll choke on your smoke
You wouldn’t mind
There is nothing to fear
Now I have nothing to say
You didn’t bring me in from the rain
What do you know of dreams anyway?

The waiting place
Between the sun and the stars
Ended with you
In the killing jar
And it started when my daddy
Bought me a star
And it ended with
You in the killing jar

The waiting place
Between the sun and the stars
Ended with you
In the killing jar
And it started when my daddy
Bought me a star
And ended with you
In the killing jar
We’re in a killing jar
