Testo Don't box me in Stan Ridgway

Don't box me in

You walk, Ill run
And follow right behind you
You call, Ill come
And I wont remember where I come from
Over there, at the end of the bar
This fish keeps swimmin in a jar
I feel a tug on the line
Which end will I be on this time?

Chorus:
Dont box me in
Dont box me in
Dont box me in
Dont box me in

One day Ill show them
Just what Im made of
Therell be a time
When I wont remember what I was afraid of
And Ill be swimmin in the sea
No banging on this glass for me
My eyes turned red when my life turned blue
So Im leaving everything, thats true
And Ill jump into
A brand new skin

Chorus:
And then you wont be able to box me in
Dont box me in
Dont box me in
Let go

Theres a few places round
That Ive never been
Theres an ocean out there
That I gotta swim
Theres a river that flows
Right past my door
I wonder
I wonder...
...what?

And if sometimes I cant seem to talk
Youll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk.

Chorus:
Dont box me in
I told you not toccdont box me in
Dont box me in
Dont box me in
Let go
