I run the water very, very, very hot
And then I dip my tongue in and take a taste
And start to feel mortality surround me
I close my eyes and think that I have found me
It tastes like soap but it doesn't really taste like soap
So different from the one I always sing
But when I do the dishes
Is yearning to get out
But then I feel mortality surround me
I want to sing another melody
But life inside the music box ain't easy
Is yearning to get out
And then I set all the bottle caps I own afloat
And everyone inside the mechanism
And every one inside the mechanism
And sing another melody completely
And sing another melody completely
And then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap
And then I slip my hands in and start to make waves
The mallets hit, the gears are always turning
And it's the greatest voyage in the history of plastic
So different from the one they're always singing
Is yearning to get out
I close my eyes and think that I have found me
And then I lower in my whole mouth and take a gulp
Is yearning to get out
