Long Time Jerk

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

Ooh, your heart

Now my heart will burst

Oh, no

Ah, but it took me back to that wonderland

I witnessed long ago

Babbling words of preachers

Sayin' "Don't bury me no more" (oh)

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

Long time jerk

She did it to me first

Oh, my heart

With that long time jerk (ah)

Say, do that long time jerk

Bring on those tapes from the past

So you look better in a mirror

Feel that long time jerkin'

Between the taker and the giver

Feel that

Long time jerk

She hit me where it hurts

Ooh, I felt my heart

Now my heart will burst

I've forgotten how to worry

And I don't know how to run

Against the odds I realize

This struggle could be fun

Ooh, through lanes and streets and houses

And reversing rush of time

She made me re-invent the world

Before inventing time (before inventing time)

Long time jerk

Oh, she hit me where it hurts

Ooh, my heart

Long time jerk

Long, long, long, long, long

Long time, long time jerk

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

They played that long time jerk

And they played it 'til it hurts

Ooh, all that sound

Now my heart will burst

Long, long, long

Long time jerk

Long time jerk

That long time jerk

Oh, she did it to me first

And if that was not to hurt

So my heart will burst

Oh, it's that long time jerk

She said

"I could do that long time jerk

And I'll do it 'til it hurts

A way to shout and curse

With that long time jerk"
