Back In The Box Lyrics by David Byrne

Back In The Box Lyrics

    The sun shines on the living
    The sun shines on the dead
    The sun shines on you and me
    Wherever we lay our heads

    The sun shines on the evil
    The sun shines on the good
    It doesn't favour righteousness
    Although you wish it would

    Oh johnny, oh johnny
    Are you still awake?
    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 ...
