Back In The Box
The sun shines on the living
The sun shines on the dead
Sun shines on you and me
Wherever we lay our heads
The sun shines on the evil
The sun shines on the good
It doesn't favour righteousness
Although, you wish it would
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Are you still awake?
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
I'm terribly scared (ooh)
And now, I need an oasis
Place to hide from the day
I'd like a little dark tiny room
Where the music plays
Maybe you just lost somebody
Maybe your whole world has changed
The sun don't really care about that
It shines on anyway
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Are you still awake?
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
I'm terribly scared, whoo
I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
And now love's terrifying
But I cannot hide what I want
You cannot hear me or see me now
Because I've gone back in the box
If I don't make no decisions
Then, I won't make no mistakes
Look through all those tiny holes
Well, the light's still getting in
And I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
And I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Yeah, I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Yeah, I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Hey, I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Hey, I'm going back in the box (whoo)
Back in the box (whoo)
Back in the box again
The sun shines on the dead
Sun shines on you and me
Wherever we lay our heads
The sun shines on the evil
The sun shines on the good
It doesn't favour righteousness
Although, you wish it would
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Are you still awake?
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
I'm terribly scared (ooh)
And now, I need an oasis
Place to hide from the day
I'd like a little dark tiny room
Where the music plays
Maybe you just lost somebody
Maybe your whole world has changed
The sun don't really care about that
It shines on anyway
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
Are you still awake?
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny
I'm terribly scared, whoo
I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
And now love's terrifying
But I cannot hide what I want
You cannot hear me or see me now
Because I've gone back in the box
If I don't make no decisions
Then, I won't make no mistakes
Look through all those tiny holes
Well, the light's still getting in
And I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
And I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Yeah, I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Yeah, I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Hey, I'm going back in the box
Back in the box
Back in the box again
Hey, I'm going back in the box (whoo)
Back in the box (whoo)
Back in the box again
