The Box
A box arrived this morning Its reason was unspoken It was signed and sent with deadly seal The box said Do Not Open It stood there in the hallway And arrested my attention I paced the floor and pondered why The box said Do Not Open And still I wondered, Will temptation get the best of me again? It was just the very thing I wasn't Wishin' to be ownin' A package sent to Waseley Hills The box said Do Not Open Seven lonely days went by I wasn't really copin' It soon consumed my every thought - The box said Do Not Open And still I wondered, Will temptation get the best of me again? Songtexte Frozen there in terror, I Could hardly have been hopin' Through an omen of my comin' doom, The box said Do Not Open An image of repulsion I saw the premonition It filled my frightened mind and still, The box said Do Not Open And still I wondered, Will temptation get the best of me again? I couldn't stand the torture And approached the thing in question I ripped away the seal The box, it lay there open And there I was, a sorry man All doubled up and chokin' With bleedin' hands and withered nails, The box, it lay there open And it looks like Temptation got the best of me again (Thanks to Thom for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
