The Box |
|
|
|
Rob lived in a box by the rails |
|
Only thing he knew, you don't fail |
|
When you live in a box by the rails |
|
Don't comb your hair, don't comb your tail |
|
|
|
Sweep my mess away |
|
Leave my body, leave my bones |
|
Leave me whole and leave my soul |
|
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all |
|
Nothing, I don't need at all |
|
|
|
He ate from the bins in the park |
|
Stayed out with the rats after dark |
|
Never left a trail, never made his mark |
|
When he ate with the rats after dark |
|
|
|
Sweep my mess away |
|
Leave my body, leave my bones |
|
Leave me whole and leave my soul |
|
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all |
|
Nothing, I don't need at all |
|
|
|
Calling on his friends, never made him sad |
|
Didn't want the things he never had |
|
It only made them feel so bad |
|
For having the things he never had |
|
|
|
Sweep my mess away |
|
Leave my body, leave my bones |
|
Leave me whole and leave my soul |
|
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all |
|
Nothing, I don't need at all |
|
|
|
If you stay in that box overnight |
|
And don't get out when it gets light |
|
There's not much lost of the secret life |
|
That's done wrong and it's never done right |
|
|
|
Now some more flowers grow |
|
The corn gets eaten by a few more crows |
|
And an old man's box is full of bones |
|
Won't see his footprints in the stones |
|
|
|
Sweep my mess away |
|
Leave my body, leave my bones |
|
Leave me whole and leave my soul |
|
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all |
|
Nothing, I don't need at all |
|
|
|
Sweep my mess away |
|
Leave my body, leave my bones |
|
Leave me whole and leave my soul |
|
Leave me nothing, I don't need at all |
|
Nothing, I don't need at all |
