Boxes
Trevor Tanner
[Verse 1]
Somewhere, a scream proclaims
Another life begun
A monkey weak and thin
Not yet, his mother's son
[Verse 2]
Somewhere, a boy in grey
Walks scared through whitewashed walls
To learn the monkey way
Between the twisting walls...
[Chorus]
Boxes
Boxes... oh...
[Verse 3]
Somewhere, a boy now grown
Made simple by his pain
Makes monkeys of his own
Keeps up the lifelong chain...
[Verse 4]
Some way us everywhere
Where all the monkeys go
Their boxes testify
An endless row on row...
[Chorus]
Boxes
Boxes... oh...
[Verse 5]
From medieval bricks
A snot-nosed gargoyle stares
Dead monkeys line by line
He gets the boxes here, oh...
[Verse 6]
Somewhere a scream proclaims
Another life begun...
