Lyrics Sample in a Jar - Little Feat

Sample in a Jar

It’s hidden far away
But someday i may tell
The tale of metal tangle
When into your world i fell
Without you now i wander soaking
Secretly afraid
'cause in your grasp the fears don’t last
(and some of them have stayed)
I wheeled around because i Didn’t hear what you had said
And saw you dancing with elihu
Up on leemor’s bed
And i was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car
The binding belt enclosing me, a sample in a jar
And on the market stands unfolding
With all their willies and their wares
I shuffle by alert but numb
To all the glances and the glares
And i think of you unheeding
All the times i raise my cup
It’s now i know that you knew that
I’d soon end up end up You tricked me like the others
And now i don’t belong
The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong
