Music Box

[Intro]

Yeah

Yeah, girl

Can you hear that? It's playing our song

Are you sleepy? Take a nap

You're not afraid of the dark, are you?

[Verse 1]

You hear the beat as it makes ya not want to go to sleep

I knock on Dakota's door; it's locked, so I go to creep

'Round the back with binoculars, not 'cause I wanna peep

But because I'm hungry, she smells like tacos, I wanna eat

Visions of hot chocolaty marshmallows, all so sweet

With sugar plums; oh, look

Here comes Marshall, he's on your street

He's placing hot, smoldering charcoals beneath your feet

Now walk on 'em; he's dancing with carcasses cheek to cheek

Like a Thanksgiving turkey, a holiday ham

Cinnamon sprinkled on toast, strawberry marmalade jam

Flavor my favorite graham crackers with JonBenét Rams'

I guess a modern-day Jack the Ripper is all that I am

[Chorus]

(My music box)

'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep

(My music box)

But I can hear you, my love, you keep calling me

(My music box)

Although we're worlds apart, you mean the world to me

(My music box, my music box)

So once you call, I come, I will answer

(My music box)

'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep

(My music box)

I hear my music box playing a song for me

(My music box)

So won't you twirl around and do a whirl for me?

(My music box, my music box)

And would you be my private little dancer?

[Verse 2]

I almost look comatose; who wants to be sober? Gross

I foam like a Doberman, mouth open, I overdose

Put coke up my nostrils in both my holes, then I plug my nose

My pupils quadruple in size, eyes are so bugged, I know

I put on my mother's makeup, get naked and run around

Wavin' the gun around, I think I'm down to a hundred pounds

There's thunder, I wonder how come it rains, but the sun is out?

The devil's upset with his wife, they must be sluggin' it out

I must be buggin' the fuck out, but what the fuck about?

Voices are leading me up to the attic, I love my house

They pull and they tug my blouse, the sound of a music box

Comes from inside a toy chest, but what do I do? It's locked

I pick it and open it, but it's stuffed full of human parts

I dig 'til I find it, I wind it up, and the tune just starts

It's playing a song, so beautiful, and the room is dark

The moon is full, I smell a funeral, guess I'll loom in the park

[Chorus]

(My music box)

'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep

(My music box)

But I can hear you, my love, you keep calling me

(My music box)

Although we're worlds apart, you mean the world to me

(My music box, my music box)

So once you call, I come, I will answer

(My music box)

'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep

(My music box)

I hear my music box playing a song for me

(My music box)

So won't you twirl around and do a whirl for me?

(My music box, my music box)

And would you be my private little dancer?

[Verse 3]

I'm fixated on asphyxiatin' and breakin'

This little chick's neck like a Pixy Stick

The sick, Satan-worshippin' bitches get horse whippings

I'm in the back, through the back door slippin'

Through the crack, leavin' the corpse drippin'

The mortician of love, sent from above

Forced entry, the more wenchy the more stingy I become

Been doing this for more than a quarter-century, I'm just numb

Am I dreaming, is it real? Someone pinch me on the buns

The time has come to tie her up, gotta roll me the ladder

I've had enough of the chatter

Climb up to the window, look at her

Then climb in slow to shatter her brain matter and batter her

With a bat; a matter of fact, that will splatter her

But before I do that, I'll have a chat to flatter her

Give her two compliments back to back, like "Tabitha

I'm your secret admirer, I'm back to ravish ya

So strong is your fight, but you're no match for Dracula"

Prolonging her plight as I go back to stabbin' her

Dismember her limbs, simple as that: cadaver her

Zoom in with the lens, then pan back the camera

Stand back, 'cause here comes your man Jack, so Pamela

[Chorus]

(My music box)

'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep

(My music box)

But I can hear you, my love, you keep calling me

(My music box)

Although we're worlds apart, you mean the world to me

(My music box, my music box)

So once you call, I come, I will answer

(My music box)

'Cause when the lights are off, I see the girl's asleep

(My music box)

I hear my music box playing a song for me

(My music box)

So won't you twirl around and do a whirl for me?

(My music box, my music box)

And would you be my private little dancer?
