When everything when everything was out of reach

The sky was up the ground was right below our feet

We played in boxes we played in boxes

Cardboard boxes

We played in boxes we played in boxes

Cardboard boxes

We wasted time we wasted time before we knew

Don't punch the clock or time will run away with you

We live in boxes we live in boxes

Concrete boxes

We live in boxes we live in boxes

Concrete boxes

And now your childhood is over

You're a man they have said

You silently shoulder all the plans they have made

You pack down your boxes and ask 'Who am I '

The biggest trick the biggest trick they play on you

To make you think the show won't go on without you

We go in boxes we go in boxes

Wooden boss

We go in boxes we go in boxes

Wooden boxes

And now the room has been emptied

I'm alone in my bed

The heart is a box which the soul has fled

The spell has been broken and the last word is said
