Sample in a Jar Songtext
von Phish

It′s hidden far away, though someday I may tell
The tale of metal tangle when into your world I fell
Without you, now I wander soaking secretly afraid
But in your grasp the fears don't last, though some of them have stayed

I wheeled around because I, 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


I wheeled around because I, 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

You tricked me like the others
And now I don′t belong
The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong

I wheeled around because I, 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

Oh, a sample in a jar
Oh, a sample in a jar
Whoa-oh, now, a sample in a jar
Oh, now
