Don`t box me in — текст песни (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 swimming in a jar
I feel a tug on the line which end
Will I be on this time

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 swimming in the sea
No banging on this glass for me
My eyes saw red when my life turned blue
So I`m leaving everything that`s true
And I`ll jump into a brand new skin
And then you won`t be able to box me in

Don`t 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

Don`t box me in
I told you not to
Don`t box me in
Don`t box me in
Don`t box me in
Let go
