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
