Jersey's Best Prancers

The Ergs Jersey's Best Prancers Lyrics
1.Short Stories

Oh Eveline
I'm so tired of saying the wrong thing
While amped up on caffeine
Sweaty hand-soaked paper notes
Freeform acts and deleted scenes

'I think you're beautiful,' I said
Then the next week you were gone
You moved out to another town
You're the main character
In my short stories
There are no happy ends

Oh Eveline
I'm so tired of saying the wrong thing
While amped up on caffeine
A furiously scribbled out manuscript
New revisions of fucked up dreams

'You said, 'You think I'm cool',' she said
How do I interpret that?
What the hell does that mean?

Oh Eveline
I'm so tired of saying the wrong thing
While amped up on caffeine
Oh Eveline


2.Fin

Maybe today or the day after that
Gonna have to come to terms with who I am
Not myself, rather with whom
Talkin' 'bout the folks in the other room

Round their door on the tips of toes
Kids at school figured out a while ago
Now they take turns at throwing stones
While I talk on the phone in whispered tones

Irony defined
Is the opposite of what you had in mind
If you need a context clue
This would be the example that I'd use
You call me weak and unnatural
I don't move an inch at all
I just stare you down and laugh it off

I guess it's easier to recite
Than to ever bother trying to get it right
No skin off my back will be losing sleep
Over the kin they decide to keep

Mom and dad are gonna throw me out
When I tell them what I'm all about
I got it sweet but I gotta blow
They all hate me and they don't even know it

I'm willing to accept what might happen today
I can't surrender without giving myself away


3.Aja

Met a girl named Aja
She said her dad loved Steely Dan
I laughed and asked her if her sister's name was Katy

Her smile spoke in volumes
Her eyes were like the sky
I said props to him cause that's the coolest name I've ever
heard
I kinda dig these Midwest summers
Lets go hang out at 'the pub'
A couple of beers from now she'll disappear

Aja you're the only one I dream about these days
Lets go drink some more and listen to 'The Royal Scam'
