Don't Box Me In Lyrics

Stan Ridgway Don't Box Me In

You walk, I'll run, and follow right behind you
You call, I'll come, and I won't remember where I come from
Over thre, at the end of the bar
This fish keeps swimming in a jar
I feel a tug on the line
Which end will I be on this time?
CHORUS
Don't box me in
One day I7ll show them just what I'm made of
There'll be a time when I won't remember what I was afraid of
And I'll be swimming in the sea, no banging on this glass for me
My eyes turned red when my life turned blue
So I'm leaving everything, that's true
And I'll jump into a brand new skin
and then you won't be able to box me in
CHORUS
Let go
There's a few places 'round that I've never been
There's an ocean out there that I gotta swim
There's a river out there that flows past my door
I wonder...I wonder...What?
And if sometimes I can't seem to talk
You'll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk
Don't box me in,
I told you not to
Don't box me in
Let go
