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
