lyrics

Mother that jumper
That I like so much
do you know where it is?
do you know where its gone?
it’s the one with the bird and the egg that’s unhatched
if I lost it I don’t know what I’d do
i’m so very attached.

A hole in the arm a hole in the side
The neck is stretches out to my shoulder blade
I still remember how it felt to be dragged to ground
By stupid Hasma who wasn’t playing fair,
I still remember the sound

I don't know if that's how how it is
or thats how it was
Playing snipers on the mountain top
The Shelter in Jordan
Where I had my first kiss,
I never want to forget how that felt,
I never want to forget how that felt.

Mother that dog that’s tied up outside
Do you think his owner left him there to die
He hasn’t eaten in days you can tell by his size
O Mother fetch me knife
Let me sever his ties

A gash in leg and scratch in the eye
His skin is rough
and red and hurt
I don’t know if he can run at all
But after I cut him loose
I’m gonna toss him a ball

I don't know if that's how how it is
or thats how it was
Playing snipers on the mountain top
The Shelter in Jordan
Where I had my first kiss,
I never want to forget how that felt,
I never want to forget how that felt.

It's the one with the bird and the egg that's unhatched
it's the one were Asami wasn't plying fair.
It's the one with the dog that's tied up outside
a gash in the leg and a scratch in the eye.

I don't know if that's how how it is
or thats how it was
Playing snipers on the mountain top
The Shelter in Jordan
Where I had my first kiss,
I never want to forget how that felt,
I never want to forget how that felt. .
