"Jeremy" lyrics - PEARL JAM

PEARL JAM
"Jeremy"

At home, drawing pictures
Of mountaintops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
And the dead lay
In pools of maroon below

Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the Wicked
Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Clearly I remember
Picking on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
Ooh, but we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget?

And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Ooh, dropped wide open
Just like the day
Oh, like the day I heard

Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the Wicked
Oh, ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo

Try to forget this
(Try to forget this)
Try to erase this
(Try to erase this)
From the blackboard

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in, spoke in
Jeremy spoke in class today

Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo (spoke in)
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo (spoke in)
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo (spoke in)
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo (spoke in)

Whoa (spoke in, spoke in)
(Spoke in, spoke in)
Whoa (spoke in, spoke in)
Whoa (spoke in, spoke in)
Ahh yeah

Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh yeah
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh, uh huh, uh huh, uh huh
Uh huh
