lyrics

Hang that photograph
Best to nail that sucker to the wall
And down the hall
Woke a sleeping cat
Called me up and said it's time to go
And don't you know

You're the folly I'm the switchback
I'll take your word then I'll give it right back
It's not the coffin it's the quicksand
Needles under my skin, don't box me in
You're the volley I'm the feedback
I'll take your word then I'll give it right back
It's not the coffin it's the quicksand
Needles under my skin, don't box me in
Don't box me in

Play that phonograph
Bless your reproduction analog
Forget the dog
Broke the needle black
Someone pulled the trigger, oh my god
And just for fun

You're the folly I'm the switchback
I'll take your word then I'll give it right back
It's not the coffin it's the quicksand
Needles under my skin, don't box me in
You're the volley I'm the feedback
I'll take your word then I'll give it right back
It's not the coffin it's the quicksand
Needles under my skin, don't box me in
Don’t box me in

Degrading me degrading you
Parading up and down this whitewash inherited blowhard
Before you can accept what you've done
Take another big hit
That's it, I'm out, you've won
Now you can take all of my cards
And if a blank check cuts up your throat you can sing without blood
Just remember we made a deal because you're right in the middle of pretending to the throne

You're the folly I'm the switchback
I'll take your word then I'll give it right back
It's not the coffin it's the quicksand needles under my skin, don't box me in
You're the volley I'm the feedback
I'll take your word then I'll give it right back
It's not the coffin it's the quicksand
Needles under my skin, don't box me in
Don't box me in
