They Might Be Giants - Old Pine Box lyrics

They tried the handcuffs but they won't lock Electrical courses but they won't shock You pulled the fire alarm You tried punching a cop You're just too tired to stop You old pine box You old pine box With your head full of rocks Sharp like a cracked flowerpot You old paper hat On your skull full of bats There's no percentage in that They called relations but they declined They called the fan club but they'd resigned Left your car in a field And some questions behind Your mom thinks you're out of your mind Over the falls and into the drink The barrel breaks and we slowly sink They tried the handcuffs but they won't lock Electrical courses but they won't shock You pulled the fire alarm You tried punching a cop You're just too tired to stop You old pine box
