The Leper - Dinosaur Jr.

Embarrassed to be alive

Sit with my life open wide

Your stare is forcing my face open

A leper crumbling, never joking

Who should I believe?

Safest to wallow in my own esteem

Afraid, stick my neck out

Knowing the day has drawn

I’m a leper

Scared beyond this feeling, I dare to escape

A leper

Doomed to this, my life is chosen to rape

Embarrassed to be alive

Sit with my life open wide

Your stare is forcing my face open

A leper crumbling, never joking

I’m a leper

Scared beyond this feeling, I dare to escape

A leper

Doomed to this, my life is chosen to rape

I’m a leper, leper, leper
