lyrics

MUSIC BOX
I been dancing with skeletons
Old dreams lost, yeah a long time gone.
Like when I was your music box
And you’d wind me up and I’d play for us...

I been talking ‘bout consciousness
Just wondering, waiting for some more progress
Oh if I could be your music box.
And you’d wind me up and I’d play for us…

I been dancing with picture frames
Paintings that move when you look away
Oh if I could be your music box
You wind me up and I play for us
