The Leper Lyrics - 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
