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
Ooh, 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 till 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

And she said
I could do that long time jerk
And I'll do it till it hurts
A way to shout and curse
With that long time jerk
