A box arrived this morning
Its reason was unspoken
Signed and sent with deadly seal
The box said "Do Not Open"
It stood there in the hallway
And arrested my attention
I paced the floor and pondered why
The box said "Do Not Open"
And still I wondered
Will temptation get the best of me again?
It was just the very thing
I wasn't wishin' to be ownin'
A package sent to Paisley Hill
The box said "Do Not Open"
Seven lonely days went by
I wasn't really copin'
It soon consumed my every thought
The box said "Do Not Open"
And still I wondered
Will temptation get the best of me again?
Frozen there in terror
I could hardly have been hopin'
Through an omen of my comin' doom
The box said "Do Not Open"
An image of repulsion
I saw the premonition
Filled my frightened mind and still
The box said "Do Not Open"
But still I wondered
Will temptation get the best of me again?
I couldn't stand the torture
And approached the thing in question
I ripped away the seal
The box, it lay there open
And there I was, a sorry man
All doubled up and chokin'
With bleedin' hands and withered nails
The box, it lay there open
And it looks like
Temptation got the best of me again
