Sample in a Jar Lyrics

-- Trey Anastassio, Tom Marshall 


it's hidden far away 
but someday i may tell
the tale of metal tangle 
when into your world i fell
without you now i wander 
soaking secretly afraid
'cause in your grasp the fears don't last 
and some of them have stayed

i wheeled around because i didn't 
hear what you had said
and saw you dancing with elihu 
up on leemor's bed
and i was foggy rather groggy, 
you helped me to my car
the binding belt enclosing me, 
a sample in a jar

and on the market stands unfolding 
with all their willies and their wares
i shuffle by alert but numb 
to all the glances and the glares
and i think of you unheeding 
all the times i raise my cup
it's now i know that you knew 
that i'd soon end up end up

you tricked me like the others 
and now i don't belong
the simple smiles and good times 
seem all wrong


chorus out
