| 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 see 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 |
