Build Me a Box Lyrics by Bourbon Tabernacle Choir

Superior Cackling Hen

0

Gonna build me a box where you can just love me baby
Where you don't have to listen to what your next door neighbour
Or your mama or your papa or your best friend
Gotta say about me
Gonna build me a box, gonna nail the lid down
Gonna make it so dark in my box you'll stop
Feeling when this world starts to turn us upside down
This world's been turning us upside down

Gonna plant me a seed, gonna plant it inside you
It will grow 'til its limbs breathe green
Tangleupreachdownwraparound like a cage to hide you
Roots are gonna grow deep in the cold dark ground
Hold you safe, hold you sound
Won't really much matter how the wind cries
'Cause my love's gonna save you from those skies
We'll make our own weather baby
When I want rain man it'll come down

Get down to just what matters; Time to think 'bout how you told
Didn't take mama out of heaven
Didn't make daddy grow so old
Now there gonna try to mark time on us
Try to tell us this place is our tomb
They can die all they want to sunshine
This place is gonna be our womb

Gonna build me a box where you can just love me
Far away from imitators, no love imitators
And there won't be anyone above me
Gonna build me a box where it's peaceful and calm
Where all you're gonna hear is music
And your heart keeping time right to it
As the storm rages on and when it's over and gone
Gonna take it outside
