Real Pandora

See how the saints go marching

Past the pedants dancing in your head (?)

And how the fools still rush in

Back to the places angels fear to tread

If you leave the door unguarded

To your happiness

You’ll open up a real Pandora

And a hornet’s nest

And I see that now

If you invite desire

Wouldn’t you think that lust would tag along

And if you light that fire

It won’t be extinguished by your loving song

If you leave the door unguarded

To your happiness

You’ll open up a real Pandora

And a hornet’s nest

Oh, I see that now

I see that now

Don’t want to be that now

I see that now

Don’t want to be that now

Another day is dawning

And the dust is dancing in the air

Head on my pillow, yawning

With a hangover hanging over there

I must have left the door unguarded

In my idleness

I’ve open up a real Pandora

And a spider’s web

Oh, I see that now

I see that now

Don’t want to be that now

Well, I don’t want to be that now
