Whoa! Woke up this morning Closed in on all sides Nothing doing I feel resistance As I open my eyes Someone's fooling I've found a way to break Through this cellophane line 'Cause I know what's going on In my own mind Am I living in a box? Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? Life goes in circles Around and around, circulating I sometimes wonder What's moving underground I'm escaping I've found a way to break Through this cellophane line 'Cause I know what's going on In my own mind Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? Oh (Living) (Living) (Living) I've found a way to break Through this cellophane line 'Cause I know what's going on In my own mind Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living in a box? (Living) Am I living in a cardboard box Am I living, am I living, am I living? Am I living, am I living, am I living? (In a box) Am I living, am I living? Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box? Am I living, am I living? Am I living in a cardboard box? Am I living in a box?

There's a funeral procession on the highway Traffic screeches to a halt There's people searching for a better way To live their lives, oh Johnny lived a good life, you'll hear them say As tears of sadness soak the ground The reaper crept in, took his breath away In the middle of the night, oh We celebrate the lives of the dead It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies We gather 'round to pay our respects While their souls are still searching for the light Searching for the light So please don't come to me on my dying day Just let me go in peace With all the things that I forgot to say Racing through my mind, oh And don't you bury me six feet under ground Just burn my body in a box And let my ashes blow with the wind Out into the night sky We celebrate the lives of the dead It's like a man's best party, only happens when he dies We gather 'round to pay our respects While their souls are still searching for the light Searching for the light Searching for the light, oh Searching for the light

On nights like this When the world's a bit amiss And the lights go down across the trailer park I get down, I feel had I feel on the verge of going mad And then it's time to punch the clock I put on some make-up And turn on the tape deck And pull the wig back on my head Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest Midnight checkout queen Until I head home And I put myself to bed I look back on where I'm from Look at the woman I've become And the strangest things seem suddenly routine I look up from my Vermouth on the rocks The gift wrapped wig still in the box Of towering velveteen I put on some make-up Some Lavern Baker I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963 Until I wake up And I turn back to myself Some girls they have natural ease They wear it any way they please With their French flip curls and perfumed magazines Wear it up, let it down This is the best way that I've found To be the best you've ever seen I put on some make-up Turn on the eight-tack I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf Suddenly I'm Miss Farrah Fawcett from TV Until I wake up And I turn back to myself Shag, bi-level, Bob, Dorothy Hamill do Sausage curl, chicken wings, it's all because of you With your blow dried, feather backed Toni home wave, too Flip, for, frizz, flop, it's all because of you It's all because of you, it's all because of you Okay Everybody I put on some make-up Turn up the eight track I'm pulling the wig down from the shelf Suddenly I'm this punk rock star of stage and screen And I ain't never I'm never turning back

Nothing is perfect but your imperfections are quaint And your love is worth it and for that I will wait And though you hate me, when you have a turn I drive you crazy but you always return If I fall short If I break rank It's a bloodsport But I understand I am all yours I am a man I'm on all fours Willingly down Loving you is a bloodspot Fighting in a love war Although you love me, sometimes we meet Things can get ugly but we're still a team We are an army, the brakes are within But that's why we're stronger, and that's how we'll win If I fall short If I break rank It's a bloodsport But I understand I am all yours I am a man I'm on all fours Willingly down Loving you is a bloodspot Fighting in a love war It's not what I'm in love for, I know But I don't know if you can't help it Baby, I'm just being selfish Loving you is a bloodspot I've got your back and though it's stacked against us I've got your hand, it's us against consensus And I will burn the people who hurt you the most and I will not learn 'Cause I am too young and too dumb to consider the terms I'm breaking the law and I'll curse the day that they return With a smile on my face as their heads hit the floor And it's done, now it's curtains, the blood lost, it's the cost, it fucking hurts But it's working and even if you ask me to stop it's too late Because I've already decided that faith is not a distaste, it's pure hate And it pulsates and it works its way around my brain And anyway, what I'm tryna say is I'll protect you till the day I'll meet my maker So don't fight me now 'cause you might need me later Loving you is a bloodspot Fighting in a love war It's not what I'm in love for, I know But I don't know if you can't help it Baby, I'm just being selfish Loving you is a bloodspot

I never ask for easy love But you didn't need to make it hard For me, you keep it breezy You underestimate my trust You think I'm weak, but you are half Of me, you complete me Sometimes I pretend that we're still friends There must be a line where I begin and you end Don't wanna fight Just wanna make it right You don't have control of me But I will not be your enemy 'Cause you're a shadow, you're a shadow Of who I used to be You hold the fire inside Oh you can be so hard to please You won't be hurting me I will not be your sacrifice I will not feed your energy You don't deserve me Sometimes I pretend that we're still friends There must be a line where I begin and you end I don't wanna fight Just wanna make it right You don't have control of me But I will not be your enemy 'Cause you're a shadow, you're a shadow Of who I used to be Sometimes I pretend that we're still friends There must be a line where I begin and you end Don't wanna fight Just wanna make it right

Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay! I guess you're okay You go through my head Now and then (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) We watch what we say, We play hard to get We pretend (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) I don't what's happened to me But it won't disappear I'll keep changing, Saying things I think you want to hear I'm struggling to hold on to something close to you Now I'm coming up short I choose to make the most of you Never mind the power Never mind the games You and me we're cowards Never mind to share 'Cause I'll be waiting for you At the burning gates Baby, I adore you But I'm afraid to say I bite, and you scratch We tend to relax Perfect match (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) We're both self destruct We fight and we fuck We make love (Hi! Hey! Hi! Okay!) I'm struggling to hold on to something close to you Now I'm coming up short I choose to make the most of you Never mind the power Never mind the games You and me, we're cowards Never mind to share 'Cause I'll be waiting for you At the burning gates Baby, I adore you But I'm afraid to say We don't have to be the model couple We could just be modeled up I won't give it up! White flag on the night stand White girl for the road Baby, we were made to go surround each other Baby, I don't know I don't care I'm just scared Never mind the power Never mind the games You and me, we're cowards Never mind to share 'Cause I'll be waiting for you At the burning gates Baby, I adore you But I'm afraid to say

I stood in a lonely room Of a mother old and gray Her voice so weak, she could hardly speak I brushed a tear away She was watching the little snowflakes falling on her window pane She breathed a sigh and then replied, "I'll be gone to be with Jesus Come spring" Before the roses bloom in my garden I'll be gathering flowers in a better land Before the fields are green, before the robin sings I'll be gone to be with Jesus come spring There's a big gate standing open A gentle voice calls me home Soon I'll be in God's country In a garden of my own With my troubles far behind me And my body free from pain When the sun melts the snow and the warm winds blow I'll be gone to be with Jesus, come spring And now the roses bloom in her garden And she's gathering flowers in a better land She's gone where angels sing Earth's loss is Heaven's gain But we'll meet when God gathers flowers, come spring I know we'll meet when God gathers flowers Come spring
