Black Tin Box

[Verse 1: Andrew Wyatt]

I bought you a black tin box

Something to put your jewelry in

But it struck me as the property of the childless

It was cold out and warm in

[Pre-Hook: Andrew Wyatt]

The edges were sharp

The edges were sharp

Take me down the hillside

Show me where they used to play

Take me down the hillside

Show me where they used to play

[Hook: Andrew Wyatt]

Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks

Thought he could survive in the black tin box

Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks

Thought you could survive in the black tin box

[Verse 2: Lykke Li]

I mailed you a Dutch postcard

Where I tried to be comforting

There were kids, my neighbors, on the sidewalk

Playing superman

[Pre-Hook: Andrew Wyatt and Lykke Li]

But the edges were sharp

The edges were sharp

Take me down the hillside

Show me where they used to play

Take me down the hillside

Show me where they used to play

[Bridge: Andrew Wyatt]

Your sisters and you

Running through the orange light of the after-day

[Hook: Andrew Wyatt and Lykke Li]

Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks

Thought he could survive in the black tin box

Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks

Thought you could survive in the black tin box
