Box

I know a guy who lives in a box

He built it himself of cement and rocks

And he'll never come out though I beg and plead

He's got all that he wants if not all that he needs

You see he couldn't take the world and what it's done to him

He just had to escape, had to shut himself in

Now his walls are his friends so he's never alone

And he's never bothered in his cubic home

Living in a box

Every night and day

Living in a box

And I'm here to stay

Living in a box

There's no escape

And though I try

I can never get away, HEY!

Out in my box that is also my van

Just another six weeks of one night stands

And I can't get away, cause it's where that I go

From the van to the club to our nightly hotel

You see it takes me to places, even took me to you

I got no choice, I gotta pay my dues

Worth it or not, there's no escape from my cell

One hour of fun for twenty three of Hell

Living in a box for so long

I got to find my way out to go on

And what I got is no time for you

I'm in my box without a thing to do

Look at yourself, you're living the same

Locked behind walls that your brother has made

You were born in a box, you work in a box, you live in a box AND YOU'LL DIE IN A BOX

So much more that's outside your sphere

But you walk on by never knowing how near

So much more than the walls do show

But if you're not very careful then you'll never know!
