Flip-Top Box Lyrics

(Check)

[Verse 1]
Flip-top box, nail and lock me under
All I ask is for three minutes of time and I know you don't mind
Flip-top box, show a feeling
I'm defenseless, I'm so nervous kissing you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I tell myself
That I'm bold and bigger
I'm such a liar

[Chorus 1]
From the darkness comes the light
Stopping slowly short of nothing
Crying wait, wait
Now you're alone
An obsession overblown
An addiction all too familiar
Crying wait, wait
Now you're alone

[Verse 2]
Flip-top box, some claim you Jesus
But we'll all meet him soon enough
Introduce your homosexual friends
I know better now
I don't need you hangin' out
'Cause you smell like shit and then dead cowboys would agree

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I tell myself
I'm not cold or bitter
I'm such a liar

[Chorus 2]
From your past here comes your prime
Your behaviour's unsatisfactory
Crying wait, wait
Now you're alone
Beyond excuses in your head
An addiction all too familiar
Crying wait, wait
Now you're alone

[Break]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
I'm a fool I suppose
It's what inside that matters most
I'll be better off alone

[Verse 3]
Flip-Top Box, I'm James Dean if you say so
Punch drunk in my halo, spinning upwards towards the roof
Flip-Top Box, show a feeling
I'm defenseless, I'm so nervous kissing you

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I appoint myself
So cool and clever
I'm such a liar

[Chorus 1]
From the darkness comes the light
Stopping slowly short of nothing
Crying wait, wait
Crying wait, wait
Crying wait, wait
Now you're alone
