Rob lived in a box by the rails   Only thing he knew, you don't fail   When you live in a box by the rails   Don't comb your hair, don't comb your tail      Sweep my mess away   Leave my body, leave my bones   Leave me whole and leave my soul   Leave me nothing, I don't need at all   Nothing, I don't need at all      He ate from the bins in the park   Stayed out with the rats after dark   Never left a trail, never made his mark   When he ate with the rats after dark      Sweep my mess away   Leave my body, leave my bones   Leave me whole and leave my soul   Leave me nothing, I don't need at all   Nothing, I don't need at all      Calling on his friends, never made him sad   Didn't want the things he never had   It only made them feel so bad   For having the things he never had      Sweep my mess away   Leave my body, leave my bones   Leave me whole and leave my soul   Leave me nothing, I don't need at all   Nothing, I don't need at all      If you stay in that box overnight   And don't get out when it gets light   There's not much lost of the secret life   That's done wrong and it's never done right      Now some more flowers grow   The corn gets eaten by a few more crows   And an old man's box is full of bones   Won't see his footprints in the stones      Sweep my mess away   Leave my body, leave my bones   Leave me whole and leave my soul   Leave me nothing, I don't need at all   Nothing, I don't need at all      Sweep my mess away   Leave my body, leave my bones   Leave me whole and leave my soul   Leave me nothing, I don't need at all   Nothing, I don't need at all
