Elysian Fields - Jack In The Box Lyrics
Its been seven years now, living in this boxClosed in on all sides, no light, just darkHe kept me under the bed, Id pray for it to stopHed lock me safely away, and lie on topPop the latches open the hatchesOut comes jack in the boxDoing tricks and taking licksOut comes jack in the boxI was an uncut marionette hanging by steel cable threadsI was a shadow dancer a thousand shades of redTheres too much light its far too brightI things much too clearlyTheres too much light, it far too brightWeary, oh so wearyIf this is all of life outsidePlease put me where I am happyWhere I wont know what to think of thisBlack in black, almost sleepingPop the latches open the hatches, out comes jack in the boxDoing tricks and taking licks, out comes jack in the boxPlease lock me upShut me upShut up your jack in the box
