Miike Snow lyrics : "Black Tin Box"

I bought you a black tin box,
Something to put your jewelry in.
But it stuck me as the property of the childless

It was cold out and warm in

The edges were sharp

The edges were sharp
Take me down the hillside
Show me where they used to play

Take me down the hillside
Show me where they used to play


Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks
Thought he could survive in the black tin box
Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks

Thought he could survive in the black tin box

I mailed you a Dutch postcard

Where I tried to be comforting
There were kids, my neighbors, on the sidewalk
Playing superman


But the edges were sharp
The edges were sharp

Take me down the hillside
Show me where they used to play
Take me down the hillside

Show me where they used to play

Your sisters and you

Running through the orange light of the after-day.

Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks

Thought he could survive in the black tin box
Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks
Thought he could survive in the black tin box
