It's been seven years now, living in this box
|
Closed in on all sides, no light, just dark
|
He kept me under the bed, I'd pray for it to stop
|
He'd lock me safely away, and lie on top
|
Pop the latches open the hatches
|
Out comes Jack in the box
|
Doing tricks and taking licks
|
Out comes Jack in the box
|
I was an uncut marionette hanging by steel cable threads
|
I was a shadow dancer a thousand shades of red
|
There's too much light it's far too bright
|
I things much too clearly
|
There's too much light, it far too bright
|
Weary, oh so weary
|
If this is all of life outside
|
Please put me where I am happy
|
Where I won't know what to think of this
|
Black in black, almost sleeping
|
Pop the latches open the hatches, out comes jack in the box
|
Doing tricks and taking licks, out comes jack in the box
|
Please lock me up
|
Shut me up
|
Shut up your jack in the box
|
