Well, I'm staring at an unfamiliar ceiling
And I should leave
'Cause everybody here is trippin' some new drug except for me
(Why?)
'Cause I don't have the money
And I've been thinkin' about lettin' my hair grow
I have been thinkin' about cuttin' it short
I have been thinkin' about dying it yellow
But I don't think I have the bone structure or wardrobe to support
That type of look
So I will tattoo my poems all over my body
They won't know who I was before
And I will cut off my fingers, no ID to find me
When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore
The New Jersey shore
The New Jersey shore
I talk to myself too much too often
Tryin' hard to figure out
Why the feelings that line my stomach
Are always pushin' for my mouth
So I will learn to sleep on my chest
And I will learn to let things go
And I will learn to come to terms with the things that I will never know
I will never know
I will never know
So I will tattoo my poems all over my body
They won't know who I was before
And I will cut off my fingers, no ID to find me
When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore
The New Jersey shore
I will take what I can get
I'll take what I am given
But we both know that I'll need more
No, no, I'll take what I can get
I'll take what I am given
But we both know that I'll need more
No, no, I'll take what I can get
I'll take what I am given
But we both know that I'll need more
No, no, I will take what I can get
I'll take what I am given
But we both know that I'll need more
So much more
I'll need so much more
So I will tattoo my poems all over my body
They won't know who I was before
And I will cut off my fingers, no ID to find me
When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore
So I will tattoo my poems all over my body
They won't know who I was before
And I will cut off my fingers, no ID to find me
When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore
The New Jersey shore
