The Box |
| Rob lived in a box by the rails |
| Only thing he knew is 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 sad |
| 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 never 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 snow |
| 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 |
