Sleepy Metal Box Lyrics by Marty Willson-piper

Sleepy Metal Box Lyrics

    Sleepy metal box how many secrets can you hold
    Inside your head how many stories have you told
    A secret life, a seaworld swim
    And you at the bottom where most things begin
    Biscuit crumb graveyard how much sweetness
    Inside your head you scheme with the neatness
    A forty mile leap to the bedroom floor
    And black sugar in a cake-stand war


    Speckled moon with a slight dip
    The sky is a pencil and you're the tip
    Draw me an ocean where i can swim
    Or a sleepy metal box where i can begin


    Lacey lacey can the curtains cope
    Throw me a ladder or swing me a rope
    I'm a romantic gypsy king
    Stealing the box where all things begin
    I purchase wicker baskets empty
    And fill them up so there is plenty
    Down at the bottom when everything's gone
    Your grateful circle has again begun


    Joining the sun with a curving line
    Sink behind the cloak of time
    Throw me the moon i'll check it's locked
    Sleepy sleepy metal box
