Small Black Box Lyrics - Michael Penn

Picture this, a small black box 

To open it, unlock the locks 

As I dissect in retrospect this scene 

You turned it on like a machine 

A mechanizing go-between 

The clock-to-China figurine 

I do crash 

With everybody on the ground 

In pieces, coming down 

If we do crash 

With everybody on the ground 

And pieces coming down 

On take-off we were unaware 

That we'd wind just up in the air 

Now we're fighting for the flare it seems 

All you want's another toy 

We all need something to destroy 

Until you can believe the joy when 

You crash 

With everybody on the ground 

In pieces, coming down 

If we do crash 

With everybody on the ground 

And pieces coming down
