box full o' honey

box full o' honey

at the sharp end of the view

the edge of me and you

and all good sense had tread no further

and as the ghost will shiver trees

how i'm trembling on my knees

but i'm still drawn on by the murmur

are you laughing at me now

in my circumstance

when still i wear i your crown

my life's penitence

and for what

what's so funny

a box full o honey

what i thought a pretty tune

was howling at the moon

to keep me company this evening

it's so lonely in the dirt

a scratching at the hurt

but i so generously did leave you

are you laughing at me now

in my circumstance

when still i wear i your crown

some cruel penitence

for what

what's so funny

box full o honey

is she flirting with me now

ohh

is she dallying with me now

ohh

ohhh

are you flirting with me now

you'll always be my queen of tumble down

miss melancholy

are you laughing at me now

in my circumstance

when still i wear i your crown

and my life's a penitence

and for what

what's so funny

ain't it funny

a box full o honey
