Well, I'm staring at unfamiliar ceilings and I should leave 'Cause everybody here is tripping some new drug Except for me (why?) 'Cause I don't have the money I have been thinking about letting my hair grow I have been thinking about cutting it short I have been thinking 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'll 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 trying hard to figure out Why all these feelings that lie in my stomach Are always pushing 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'll cut off my fingers, no id to find me When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore The New Jersey shore I'm not take what I can get, I'll take what I am given, but we both know that I'll need more I'm not take what I can get, I'll take what I am given, but we both know that I'll need more I'm not take what I can get, I'll take what I am given, but we both know that I'll need more I'm not 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'll 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'll cut off my fingers, no id to find me When I am washed up on the New Jersey shore The New Jersey shore
