Lyrics

You say you wanna know me
Want me to open up
You'd like to see inside of me
Taste the contents of the cup

I'm gonna give you a chance to open me up and see
Just step around behind me and take aside the key
Do you see the keyhole in the back of my head?
Put the key in gently, like a lover in bed

Turn the key, my darling
Open up that little door
See the silver box there?
Wonder what it's got in store

There's a box in my head, and inside is a box
And that box has another box within
There's a box in my skull (Box)
The skull is a box and there's room for us both to go in
Yeah, box in my head (Yeah)
And inside is a box, another box within
There's a box in my skull (Box)
The skull is a box and there's room for us both to go in

Reach into the cabinet
That people call a skull
Is the glass half empty?
Is the skull half full?

Watch out for the mousetrap, careful of the hooks
Pull the box out carefully, hold your breath, and look
Is it a disappointment to find another box?
Don't you give up easily, you'll have to pick the lock

Open up enigmas
You'll find mysteries
There, you'll finally find me
When we reach eternity

'Cause there's a box in my head, and inside is a box
And that box has another box within (Yeah)
There's a box in my skull (Box)
The skull is a box and there's room for us both to go in
Yeah, box in my head (In my head)
And inside is a box, another box within (Box, yeah)
There's a box in my skull
The skull is a box and there's room for us both to go in
