Living in a Box
Living in a Box
Written by: Marcus Vere/Steve Piggot
Woke up this mornin'
Closed in on both sides
Nothin' doin'
I feel resistance
As I open my eyes
Someone's foolin'
I found a way to break through this cellophane bag
Cuz I know what's goin' on
In your mind
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
I'm a livin' in a cardboard box
I'm a livin' in a box
Life goes in circles
Around and around
Circulating
I sometimes wonder
What's movin' underground
Shut Up
May it never be said she¡Ã‚¯s knockin¡Ã‚¯ them dead
But is there a fame, it¡Ã‚¯s such a cryin¡Ã‚¯ shame what they¡Ã‚¯re sayin¡Ã‚¯
It¡Ã‚¯s more than a game that they¡Ã‚¯re playin¡Ã‚¯
At the start as we all should know
That she¡Ã‚¯s some kind of sleaze, that¡Ã‚¯s a social disease
Shut up, shut up
Don¡Ã‚¯t tell me that my best friend¡Ã‚¯s a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
It¡Ã‚¯s all right with me, if she wants to be
As loony as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up
Call her name in the air and she¡Ã‚¯ll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I¡Ã‚¯m needin¡Ã‚¯ a friend she comes to me
The story book lies, there¡Ã‚¯s stars in her eyes
She¡Ã‚¯s one of a kind and I sure am glad that I met her
I couldn¡Ã‚¯t have found one much better
But there¡Ã‚¯s something we all should know
She¡Ã‚¯s a kind of a gnu that belongs in a zoo
Shut up, shut up
Don¡Ã‚¯t tell me that my best friends like Alice
Who might wind up in a looking-glass palace
It¡Ã‚¯s all right with me, if she wants to be
As naughty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up
Call her name in the air and she¡Ã‚¯ll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I¡Ã‚¯m needin¡Ã‚¯ a friend she comes to me
Don¡Ã‚¯t tell me that my best friend¡Ã‚¯s a menace
She might wind up in a book written by Guinness
It¡Ã‚¯s all right with me, if she longs to be
As nutty as the day she was born
Shut up, shut up
Call her name in the air and she¡Ã‚¯ll soon be there
If you want her to be
Round me a bend and I¡Ã‚¯m needin¡Ã‚¯ a friend she comes to meÂÂ
Shut up, shut up
