Jack in the Box

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's 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 his steel cable thread I was a shadow dancer A thousand shakes of red There's too much light, it's far too bright I see things much too clearly There's too much light, it's far too bright Oh so weary Pop the latches, open the hatches Out comes Jack in the Box Doing tricks and taking licks Out comes Jack in the Box If this is all of life outside Please put me where I'm happy Where I won't know what to think of this Black and black, almost sleeping Please lock me up Shut me up Shut up Jack in the Box Please lock me up Shut me down Jack in the Box
