Box

I live in a box. I live on a one way street, but I don't mind.

'Cause I live alone. Nobody has to share my home.

And if I could choose I might pick a bigger box

But that's all I'd change, until I get a credit card

My home on the range is underneath my black hat

Until I wake up

I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me

I've got what I need. I've got a car that doesn't work.

I've got blood to bleed. I've got a bar of soap. I've got shampoo too

So I look like me but I smell like you.

I won the Nobel Prize. I made a thinner dime.

You know I'll get my act together when I find the time

But right now I think that living is a place to lie down.

You see I rule the dirt, so I'm the king of this town.

I live in the dark. I live in the silence, and I can say

That I see and hear how much more than the average bear

And if I could choose I might pick a darker void

But that's all I'd change, until I get a bigger club

My home on the range is somewhere in the closet,

Until I wake up.

I will not be watching you so you should not be watching me

So here's what we've got. You tell me what I am.

I'll tell you what I am not. You tell me what I'm not.

I'll tell you what I am. We'll both scratch our heads

Like we give a damn. Please tell me who comes out ahead

Was it me or you? Was it me or you? (probably you)

I live in my skull. I'm under my eyelids. You can't touch me.

'Cause I'm fast asleep. You wouldn't like the friends I keep.

And I could choose I might pick a larger head

But that's all I'd change, until I get a safe way out.

My home on the range is right behind my eyeballs.

And don't you dare wake me up.
