About Taper Jean Girl

"Taper Jean Girl" is a song by American rock band Kings of Leon. It is the third track on their 2005 album Aha Shake Heartbreak. A fan favorite, the song is known for its tight spiraling guitar, barely discernible, unmistakably dirty chorus, and as Rolling Stone calls it, "a final double-time explosion that, frankly, doesn't go on long enough." The song is featured in Entourage season 3 episode 12 "Sorry, Ari". The song is featured in the 2007 film Disturbia and plays during a scene as well as the closing credits; however, it does not appear on the soundtrack for the film. It is also featured in the 2008 film Cloverfield and on the soundtrack for that film.

Aha shake taper jean girl with a motel face
Aha shake bury your eyes in a secret place
Aha shake black as night on a Sunday

Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher

Heartbreak knockin' 'em down like the seventh grade
Heartbreak, cigarettes and songs, with a winter's chafe
Heartbreak keep like my daughter and a run away

Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher

Aha shake tapered jean girl kills me

Cunts watch their bodies, no room for make up
I think he's tasted, tasted the watcher
