Boxes
=====

Building boxes,
Got to build the boxes

We're a higher animal,
We leave the dirt behind
Carpet and four walls
Are what we have in mind
Fixtures, frames and furniture
Add our own design

Build the boxes,
We've got to build more boxes

The roof and the windows
Will keep out the elements
No insects or intruders
Are all added benefits
Everyone wants their own place,
Either castle or tenement

What do you think, wood grows on trees?
Just pick the apple 'cause it's free?
Might work for them, but not you and me.
Why can't we just walk away and
Let it be?

All these people must have a place;
Doesn't matter if this leaves no empty space.
Everyone needs a baby with a matching face
As long as we keep this up, there won't
Be a trace.

Building boxes,
Build more boxes

Do you have a place with a spiral stair?
Maybe a home always recirculating air?
Just make sure to give it that personal flair.
Why don't you just put that couch over there?

Their music can be generally described as experimental pop, or psychedelic rock, but avoiding cliches of any genre. Serious, funny, abstract or direct, despite the dressing, enjoyment is the focus ... more
