The Decemberists - Rox in the Box lyrics

rate me

Get the rocks in the box,

Get the water right down to your socks,

This bullpen's built to fallen brother and bone!

We all do what we can,

We endure our fellow man

And we sing our song to the head frame's vixen moan.

Chorus:

And it's one, two, three,

On the wrong side of the lee

What were you meant for?

What were you meant for?

And it's seven, eight, nine,

You get your shuffle back in line

And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again!

And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again!

And you won't make a dime

On this gray-grounded mountain mine

Of dirt you're made and to dirt you will return!

So while we're living here

Let's get this little one thing clear

There's plenty of men that die, you don't drop your toe!

Chorus: (x2)

And it's one, two, three,

On the wrong side of the lee

What were you meant for?

What were you meant for?

And it's seven, eight, nine,

You get your shuffle back in line

And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again!

And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again!
