Don't Box Me In Lyrics - Stan Ridgway

You walk, I'll run 

And follow right behind you 

You call, I'll come 

And I won't remember where I come from 

Over there, at the end of the bar 

This fish keeps swimmin' in a jar 

I feel a tug on the line 

Which end will I be on this time? 

Chorus: 

Don't box me in 

Don't box me in 

Don't box me in 

Don't box me in 

One day I'll show them 

Just what I'm made of 

There'll be a time 

When I won't remember what I was afraid of 

And I'll be swimmin' in the sea 

No banging on this glass for me 

My eyes turned red when my life turned blue 

So I'm leaving everything, that's true 

And I'll jump into 

A brand new skin 

Chorus: 

And then you won't be able to box me in 

Don't box me in 

Don't box me in 

Let go 

There's a few places 'round 

That I've never been 

There's an ocean out there 

That I gotta swim 

There's a river that flows 

Right past my door 

I wonder 

I wonder... 

...what? 

And if sometimes I can't seem to talk 

You'll know this blackboard lacks a piece of chalk. 

Chorus: 

Don't box me in 

I told you not toccdon't box me in 

Don't box me in 

Don't box me in 

Let go
