The Mountain Goats
Jam Eater Blues
[Verse 1]
Life is too short to refrain from eating jam out of the jar
Life is too short to refrain from eating jam out of the jar
And life is too short to wait around for you to come home tonight
Life is too short
Too short to do that

[Verse 2]
Life is too short to leave the windows open all winter long
Life is too short to leave the windows open all winter long
I'm gonna lock 'em up tight and eat jam out of the jar all night
Cause life is too short to make toast
Or use spoons or napkins

[Verse 3]
Life is too short to spend the rest of it down here in tampa
Life is too short to spend the rest of it down here in tampa
Yeah, life is too short to let it go to waste like this
But I never tasted jam before that tastes like this
And life is too short to refrain from eating jam out of the jar
