those tassels swung down
as you swam around your room
making up excuses to wear your perfume
and we all we answer for the letters we don't send
and that's why you keep a box under your bed
you often feel like you've failed the dead
that's why you lie restless inside your bed
and that's why these rockets keep firing around your head
and that's why you keep a box under your bed
everything is sleeping in its place
everyone is blowing kisses right into outer space
everyone knows you leave a trace
everything is sleeping in its place
you can't seem to get rid of the thought
or the tinny taste like blood inside your mouth
if you really see the future just like you once said
then why is there a box under your bed?
as the hissing fades and the passing waves take you instead
I hope you keep the box under your bed
