Hello, you tiny cardboard box | |||
==Lyrics== | With matches inside | ||
Hello, you wooden match | |||
With matches inside | Hello, the light you provide | ||
Hello, you wooden match | You keep me warm | ||
Hello, the light you provide | You keep me safe | ||
You keep me warm | You know that darkness isn't good | ||
You keep me safe | But nothing lasts forever | ||
You know that darkness isn't good | You're only two inches of flammable wood | ||
But nothing lasts forever | |||
You're only two inches of flammable wood | And when the sun comes back | ||
There won't be any lack | |||
And when the sun comes back | Of lumination in any way | ||
There won't be any lack | |||
Of lumination in any way | But on the other hand | ||
I'll never understand | |||
But on the other hand | Why it disappears after every day | ||
I'll never understand | Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say | ||
Why it disappears after every day | |||
Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say | Hello, you railroad nail | ||
So sharp, so rusty and red | |||
Hello, you sledgehammer | |||
Implanting it into my head | |||
And with it comes a stream of thought | |||
And soon ideas begin to form | |||
So I must thank you for it | |||
The nail in my head is the eye of the storm | |||
And with my newfound mind | |||
I make the world unwind | |||
As if the planet is made of clay | |||
This is a tragic mix | |||
Of wayward magic tricks | |||
And giant robots from far away | |||
Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say | |||

Lyrics
Hello, you tiny cardboard box With matches inside Hello, you wooden match Hello, the light you provide You keep me warm You keep me safe You know that darkness isn't good But nothing lasts forever You're only two inches of flammable wood And when the sun comes back There won't be any lack Of lumination in any way But on the other hand I'll never understand Why it disappears after every day Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say Hello, you railroad nail So sharp, so rusty and red Hello, you sledgehammer Implanting it into my head And with it comes a stream of thought And soon ideas begin to form So I must thank you for it The nail in my head is the eye of the storm And with my newfound mind I make the world unwind As if the planet is made of clay This is a tragic mix Of wayward magic tricks And giant robots from far away Now I've forgotten what I wanted to say
