lyrics

Lock me up in your black and white box.
We'll stop the clocks tonight.
Lock me up in your black and white box
where everything's alright,
yeah, taking my body right out of time,
yeah, taking my troubles right out of my mind
as you lock me up in your black and white box.
We'll stop the clocks tonight.

Lock me up in your black and white box.
I dropped out of the sky.
Lock me up in your black and white box.
The Lord don't want my soul tonight.
My broken wings don't fly no more
so I crawl till I fall at your feet on the floor
and you lock me up in your black and white box.
I dropped out of the sky.

Lock me up in your black and white box.
The cradle rocks tonight.
Lock me up in your black and white box
where no-one talks about wrong and right.
I got a deathbed waiting and I'm out of my head.
You can lay me down there and we'll kiss till I'm dead
and you lock me up in your black and white box.
The cradle rocks tonight.
