Back In The Box Lyrics - Singles - David Byrne

The sun shines on the living 

The sun shines on the dead 

The sun shines on you and me 

Wherever we lay our heads 

The sun shines on the evil 

The sun shines on the good 

It doesn't favour righteousness 

Although you wish it would 

Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny 

Are you still awake? 

Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny 

I'm terribly scared 

And now I need an oasis 

A place to hide from the day 

I'd like a little dark tiny room 

Where the music plays

Maybe you just lost somebody 

Maybe your whole world has changed 

The sun don't really care about that 

It shines on anyway 

Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny 

Are you still awake? 

Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny 

I'm terribly scared 

I'm going back in the box 

Back in the box 

Back in the box again 

Back in the box 

Back in the box 

Back in the box again 

And now love's terrifying 

But I cannot hide what I want 

You cannot hear me or see me now 

Because I've gone back in the box 

Photos 

If I don't make no decisions 

Then I won't make no mistakes 

But through all those tiny holes 

Well the light's still getting in 

I'm going back in the box 

Back in the box 

Back in the box again 

I'm going back in the box 

Back in the box 

Back in the box again ...
