tiny little box
Well,
When I was a young boy
And as ya'll young boys do
Me and my friends
We liked getting into trouble
So one day
Trouble's name was Ellen
Ellen the Degenerate we called her...
She said,
Boys...
Why don't you come on
Down in this basement with me
We said, why
She said,
Why?
Dig this...
I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
There ain't no time, there ain't no clocks
Yas alls gonna shakes and rattles and rocks
'Cause I'm gonna put you
In a tiny little box
So time went on...
And I grew older, and took a wife
We had some good times
And we had some bad times
Some times
She would yell holy blue hell at me
But nothing
Could prepare us
For that day
My birthday believe it or not
When they told her
You Have Stage Three Cancer
Oh she didn't know what to do
I thought I'd grow old with you
The Doc said Chemo
Make her chances bigger
But he just smiled
And pulled the trigger...
And yes,
They put her in a tiny little box...
There ain't no time, no space, no clocks
She suffered and she coughed
As our world was rocked
And then they put her
In a tiny little box
So now...
I'm an old man...
A disabled widower...
Tryin' to make sense of my life
Now I look back and I see
The people I have helped -
Looking back at me...
"Thank you, Jesus" --they say...
"Thanks for the music, man"
Now I'm heartbroken just like you
I don't know what to do
The world is big
And getting bigger
It looks at me
And just says nigg**
I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
There ain't no time
There ain't no clocks
No doors no windows and no clocks
I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
In the center of town
Locked in the stocks
Your hands all frozen
Your feet in socks
I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
Yes that's what the world say
I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
We'll feed your brain electric shocks
You'll scream and cry and beg us to stop
But we're gonna put you in a tiny little box
I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
You're gonna shake and rattle and rock
It takes a year for each tickety tock
But I'm gonna put you in a tiny little box
