  • When I go out
    I can see the world from inside
    Without a doubt
    I can shake my head and scream and shout
    (Because) I can't take it no more
    I can't stand it no more

    Who's laughin' at me?

    Through the night
    Was the giant sleeping?
    The endless flight
    Oh, the mystery's for keeping
    (Because) I can't take it no more
    I can't stand it no more

    Who's staring at me
    I gotta say

    Pull up your socks
    You're the boy in the box
    What did the rebel say?
    When the wolf cried fox
    To the boy in the box
    Will you come out to play?

    Said, one, two
    You can't get enough
    Three, four
    Open up the door
    Six, five
    Alive is the boy in the box

    (I gotta say)

    Pull up your socks
    You're the boy in the box (boy in the box)
    What did the rebel say?
    When the wolf cried fox
    To the boy in the box (boy in the box)
    Will you come out to play?

    And no one talks
    To the boy in the box (boy in the box)
    (Boy in the box)
    No one talks
    When the world cried fox
    To the boy in the box
    No one talks
    No one talks

    You know, one, two
    You can't get enough
    Three, four
    Open up the door
    Six, five
    Alive is the boy in the

    One, two
    You can't get enough
    Three, four
    Open up the door
    Six, five
    Alive is the boy in the box

    Like a boy in the box
    Come and see me from outside
    Come and kill me from outside
    Pull up your socks for the boy in the box

    Like a boy in a box
    Like a boy in the box

  • Chris from CanadaHow horrible is this song? Answer: Very.
  • Raylee from Muswellbrook AustraliaWow, I actually thought when I saw the title that he'd written a song about the murdered boy found in a box in Philadelphia in 1957, commonly known as "the boy in the box". Weird!
  • Darren from Atlanta, Ga A very weird lyric, weird sounding, weird non-since video 80s Dance/Rock-Pop song that totally explains many people all in one song. Cool song by Corey.
