Jerry Lyrics

Jerry

The owner of the building

The one who is always working and leaving his dogs

He's not healthy

He's got some trouble breathing

In the winter weather

But the summers worse

And he's gone right now to work

Sixteen hours for only hurt

His thirteen unit building

Is dragging him slowly to the dirt

I called him

To see if he would help me

Get the motor healthy

And ready to run

And he flaked out

Said that he was leaving

Said that he'd been sleeping

That it looked like fun

And he's gone right back to work

Sixteen hours for only hurt

His thirteen unit building

Is dragging him slowly to the dirt

Whenever I see him

I'm gonna hear a story

A muddy allegory

About the people he knows

You can smell the coffee

He talks so softly

Whispering lessons

Covered in grease

And he's gone right back to work

Sixteen hours for only hurt

His thirteen unit building

Is dragging him slowly to the dirt
