Dinosaur Jr. - The Leper

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,

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.
