Stan Ridgway - Don't box me in lyrics

rate me

You walk I'll run

And follow right behind you

You call I'll come

And I won't remember where I come from

Over there at the end of the bar

This fish keeps swimming in a jar

I feel a tug on the line which end

Will I be on this time

Don't box me in

Don't box me in

One day I'll show them

Just what I'm made of

There'll be a time

When I won't remember what I was afraid of

And I'll be swimming in the sea

No banging on this glass for me

My eyes saw red when my life turned blue

So I'm leaving everything that's true

And I'll jump into a brand new skin

And then you won't be able to box me in

Don't box me in

Don't box me in

Don't box me in

Let go

There's a few places 'round

That I've never been

There's an ocean out there

That I gotta swim

There's a river that flows

Right past my door

I wonder I wonder what

And if sometimes I can't seem to talk

You'll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk

Don't box me in

I told you not to

Don't box me in

Don't box me in

Don't box me in

Let go
