Johnny Flynn - The Box lyrics

Living in a box by the rails Only thing you use, 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 holding, leave my soul Leave me nothing I don't need at all Nothing I don't need at all Yay from the bins, in the parks Made off with the raps after dark Never left a trail, never made his mark When he gave me the raps after dark Calling all his friends, never made him sad With all the things he never had It only made them feel so bad For having the things he never had If you stay in that box overnight Don't get out till it gets light There's not much lost of the secret life It's never gone wrong and it's never gone right Now some more flowers grow The palm gets eaten by a few more throws An old man's box is full of bones See his footprints see his stones
