David Byrne – Back In The Box lyrics

Oh johnny, oh johnny I'm terribly scared And now I need an oasis A place to hide from the day I'd like a little dark tiny room Where the music plays Maybe you just lost somebody Maybe your whole world has changed The sun don't really care about that It shines on anyway Oh johnny, oh johnny Are you still awake? Oh johnny, oh johnny I'm terribly scared I'm going back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again Back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again And now love's terrifying But I cannot hide what I want You cannot hear me or see me now Because I've gone back in the box If I don't make no decisions Then I won't make no mistakes But through all those tiny holes Well the light's still getting in I'm going back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again I'm going back in the box Back in the box Back in the box again ...
