Old Pine Box lyrics
by They Might Be Giants
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
(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
[Verse 2]
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
[Bridge]
Over the falls and into the drink
The barrel breaks and we slowly sink
[Verse 3]
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
