Shoebox — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

A key in the door, a step on the floor,
A note on the table, and a meal in the micro
Note says I`m in bed, please make sure you`re fed
If you`re taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
And when I`m asleep I dream you move in next week
I crumple the note and save it to put inside

Chorus:
My shoe box
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box
Shoe box of lies

It`s under my bed, it`s never been read
It`s in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there
From the first little fib, when I still wore a bib
To my latest attempt at pretending at someone
Who`s not seventeen and doesn`t know what you mean
When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or

(Chorus)

Did somebody tell you
This is how it`s supposed to be?
Or did you just find it
And you don`t want any more from me?

(Chorus)

Was it something I said, or was it something you read
That`s making me think that I should never have come here
I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye,
I can tell you I`m sorry, but I can`t tell the truth, dear
And if I could - would it do any good?
You`ll still never get to see the contents of

(Chorus)

You`re so nineteen-ninety
And it`s nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me
`Cause you don`t want me anymore

(Repeat)
Lie-ee-ii
