marty willson piper – sleepy metal box lyrics
sleepy metal box how many secrets can you hold
inside your head how many stories have you told
a secret life, a seaworld swim
and you at the bottom where most things begin
biscuit crumb graveyard how much sweetness
inside your head you scheme with the neatness
a forty mile leap to the bedroom floor
and black sugar in a cake-stand war
speckled moon with a slight dip
the sky is a pencil and you’re the tip
draw me an ocean where i can swim
or a sleepy metal box where i can begin
lacey lacey can the curtains cope
throw me a ladder or swing me a rope
i’m a romantic gypsy king
stealing the box where all things begin
i purchase wicker baskets empty
and fill them up so there is plenty
down at the bottom when everything’s gone
your grateful circle has again begun
joining the sun with a curving line
sink behind the cloak of time
throw me the moon i’ll check it’s locked
sleepy sleepy metal box
