Long, Black Box

"Long, Black Box"

by

Rush Montgomery III

 

The greatest gift he never wanted,

A bragging right he never flaunted,

One day it arrived, undaunted,

Showed up in a long, black box.

 

Tommy's got a new obsession,

Guns and knives and lethal weapons,

Til one day all his posessions,

Showed up in a long, black box.

 

[ CHROUS ]

        Showed up in a long black box.

        Showed up in a long black box.

 

Joanie's got an awesome body,

Likes to drink and then gets naughty,

Fooled around and ladi-dadi,

Showed up in a long, black box.

 

You're crushed by all the pain you're facing,

Mistakes you spend your time erasing,

Until the peace that you've been chasing,

Shows up in a long, black box.

 

[ REPEAT CHORUS ]
