It's been seven years now  Living in this box  Closed in on all sides  No light, just dark  He kept me under the bed  I'd pray for it to stop  He's lock me safely away  And lie on top  Pop the latches, open the hatches  Out comes Jack in the Box  Doing tricks and taking licks  Out comes Jack in the Box  I was an uncut marionette  Hanging by his steel cable thread  I was a shadow dancer  A thousand shakes of red  There's too much light, it's far too bright  I see things much too clearly  There's too much light, it's far too bright  Oh so weary  Pop the latches, open the hatches  Out comes Jack in the Box  Doing tricks and taking licks  Out comes Jack in the Box  If this is all of life outside  Please put me where I'm happy  Where I won't know what to think of this  Black and black, almost sleeping  Please lock me up  Shut me up  Shut up  Jack in the Box  Please lock me up  Shut me down  Jack in the Box
