The Coral - The Box lyrics

Your rating:

A box arrived this morning, its reason was unspoken
It was 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 wishing to be owning
A package sent to Pacely Hill
The box said 'Do Not Open'

Seven lonely days went by I wasn't really coping
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 hoping
Through an omen of my coming doom
The box said 'Do Not Open'

An image of repulsion, I saw the premonition
It filled my frightened mind and still
The box said 'Do Not Open'

And 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 choking
With bleeding hands and withered nails
The box, it lay there open

And it looks like
Temptation got the best of me again
