 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... 
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 everyone inside the mechanism 
Is yearning to get out...
