Boxes
Building Dreams: Broke Down Trucks' Ode to Survival
Lyrics
I see you walking by now you've got your own ideas
I observe you walking, and now you have your own perspectives
Just get to the shelter for a bed and you're next meal
Just reach the shelter for a bed and your next meal
There are no beds tonight so you'll be out in the cold
There are no available beds tonight, so you'll be out in the cold
You've still got you're boxes so you can make your own
You still have your boxes, allowing you to create your own shelter
If your watching then why aren't you working
If you are observing, why aren't you working?
I see you lurking while you should be working
I notice you lurking when you should be working
You've picked out your spot, it's good cover from the wind
You've chosen your spot, providing good cover from the wind
You've got all you're stuff now it's a good time to begin
You have all your belongings; it's a good time to start
Start to build your shelter and maybe get some rest
Commence building your shelter and perhaps get some rest
All the garbage in your cart makes for a good nest
The items in your cart make for a suitable nest
If your watching then why aren't you working
If you are watching, why aren't you working?
I hear you cursing while you should be working
I hear you cursing when you should be working
You've been falling and now you're crawling
You've been falling, and now you're crawling
You've got your boxes they're pretty good boxes
You have your boxes; they're pretty good boxes
The storm is coming in and you cannot stop it
The storm is approaching, and you cannot prevent it
Just build them up before she whittles 'em down to nothing
Build them up before it erodes them to nothing
Another night has come and you're stuck out in the cold
Another night has arrived, and you're stranded in the cold
The frozen concrete's making your bones feel very old
The frozen concrete is making your bones feel very old
Your whole body's sore and you wished you'd stayed in school
Your entire body is sore, and you wish you had stayed in school
Another cold night and morning can come to soon
Another cold night, and morning can come too soon
If your watching then you should be working
If you're watching, you should be working
I hear you cursing why aren't you working
I hear you cursing; why aren't you working?
You've been falling and now you're crawling
You've been falling, and now you're crawling
You've got your boxes they're pretty good boxes
You have your boxes; they're pretty good boxes
The storm is coming in and you cannot stop it
The storm is coming, and you cannot stop it
Just build them up before she whittles 'em down to nothing
Build them up before it erodes them to nothing
You've been falling and now you're crawling
You've been falling, and now you're crawling
You've got your boxes they're good cardboard boxes
You have your boxes; they're good cardboard boxes
The storm is coming in and you cannot stop it
The storm is coming, and you cannot stop it
You built them up and now you're holding them down
You built them up, and now you're holding them down
Keeping them from all swirling around
Keeping them from swirling around
You've built them up and she says I'll whittles 'em down to nothing
You built them up, and she says she'll whittle them down to nothing
