Chinese Boxes Lyrics - Kim Richey

You're like Chinese boxes 

One inside the other, inside the other 

One inside the other one 

You're smoking mirrors 

Plastic flowers, magic spells 

Misdirection, smoking mirrors, plastic flowers 

How am I to know? 

How am I to know? 

You're like all four seasons 

One becomes the other, becomes the other 

One becomes the other one 

You're daffodils and summer showers 

Turning leaves on the snow 

Daffodils and summer showers 

How am I to know? 

How am I to know? 

I try and piece together clues and possibilities 

I trim them sometimes in the shapes 

I think they're meant to be 

Still you get the best 

And whatever else is left of me, still 

How am I to know? 

How am I to know? 

You're like Chinese boxes 

One inside the other, inside the other 

One inside the other one 

One inside the other, inside the other 

One inside the other one
