Music Box (bonus Album Version) Lyrics - Regina Spektor

Life inside the music box ain't easy 

The mallets hit, the gears are always turning 

And everyone inside the mechanism 

Is yearning to get out 

And sing another melody completely 

So different from the one they're always singing 

I close my eyes and think that I have found me 

But then I feel mortality surround me 

I want to sing another melody 

So different from the one I always sing 

But when I do the dishes

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I run the water very, very, very hot 

And then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap 

And then I set all the bottle caps I own afloat 

And it's the greatest voyage in the history of plastic 

And then I slip my hands in and start to make waves 

And then I dip my tongue in and take a taste 

It tastes like soap but it doesn't really taste like soap 

And then I lower in my whole mouth and take a gulp 

And start to feel mortality surround me 

I close my eyes and think that I have found me 

But life inside the music box ain't easy 

The mallets hit, the gears are always turning 

And every one inside the mechanism 

Is yearning to get out 

Photos 

And sing another melody completely 

Is yearning to get out 

Is yearning to get out 

Is yearning to get out
