Old Pine Box - They Might Be Giants

They tried the handcuffs but they won’t lock

Electrical courses but they won’t shock

You pulled the fire alarm

You tried punching a cop

You’re just too tired to stop

You old pine box

(You old pine box)

With your head full of rocks

Sharp like a cracked flowerpot

(You old paper hat)

On your skull full of bats

There’s no percentage in that

They called relations but they declined

They called the fan club but they’d resigned

Left your car in a field

And some questions behind

Your mom thinks you’re out of your mind

Over the falls and into the drink

The barrel breaks and we slowly sink

They tried the handcuffs but they won’t lock

Electrical courses but they won’t shock

You pulled the fire alarm

You tried punching a cop

You’re just too tired to stop

You old pine box
