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
