Capo 1
Sounds better barred but it's not vital.
Intro:
Rob lived in a box by the rails
Only think he knew's you don't fail
if you live in a box by the rails
dont' comb your hair don't comb your tails
Chorus:
Sweep my mess away,
Leave my body, leave my bones
Leave my hold and leave my soul
Leave me nothing i don't need at all,
Nothing i don't need at all
He ate from the bins in the park
Stayed out with the rats after dark
Never left a trail, never made his mark
When he ate with the rats after dark
Chorus
Calling all his friends, never made him sad
With all the things he never had
It only made them feel so bad
For having the things he never had
Chorus
If you stay in that box overnight
Don't get out 'till it gets light
There's not much lost of the secret life
It's never gone wrong and it's never gone right
Now some more flowers grow
And the palm gets eaten by a few more throws
An old man's box is full of bones
See his footprints in the snow
Chorus X2
