Cardboard Box Songtext
von The Blue Aeroplanes

Start at the end:
written on this box


Pick your friends
pick my lock
rock ′n' roll me
box and cox
lox and mocha
a thousand rocks
system shocks
burlesque books
and natural looks
look, no one cooks
′cause no one can
and no one votes
'cause no one wants
everyone's someone
and with the band
all that implies
supply and demand
demand and demand
everyone′s sleeping
everyone′s thinking
including me
muse - tricking
button - flicking
lock - picking
here's a key
to this little box
here′s a key
to the heart of me

Help me sing it
help me sleep
design this message to keep
and I can draw it
paint it, sing it,
and send it to you


lift my spirit
wear its coat
see it shift
waste your gifts
like Tru Capote
fast on Sunday
keep the past
keep your castle
swim its moat
it's all I wrote
on the table d′hote
trail my coat
use your vote
use your vote
shoot your lip
speak what's hip
clip their wings
and sail your ship
our income′s ripped
a government blip
trick my trick
and strip my stocks
strip for me
no root, no tree
here's a key
to this cardboard box
here's a key
to the heart of me

Help me sing it
help me sleep
design this message to keep
and I can draw it
paint it, sing it,
and send it to you

pick your race
your little boy′s face
deal and ace
and sulk that boyfriend
choose your end
you send your bones
round the bend
live your own
own your own end
own your own words
fly my trip
but quote your own script
tip your hat
to the common foe
fol-de-rol do-di-do
you belong
stone and tree
we in clover
a spelling bee
words in me
your honey in me
your key in lock
locked in box
here′s the key
to the heart of me

here's the key
to the heart of me
