Jackinabox by Turin Brakes

If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down where the bugs are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Deep inside the ether's air
I'm takin' a lift and you're takin' the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Hey Joe, I'm tastin' all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake but life ain't dishin' nothin' I can't take

If I stuck my ears to the ground
Down where the bugs are crawling around
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Deep inside the ether's air
I'm takin' a lift and you're takin' the stairs
Shoot me up to the aeroplanes
Like a jackinabox with springs in my wings
This is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely

Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Hey Joe, I'm tastin' all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake but life ain't dishin' nothin' I can't take

Ooh, oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Oh no, my world is on fire
Someone get some water 'cos I think I'm gonna burn
Hey Joe, I'm tastin' all your flavours
Ain't no piece of cake but life ain't dishin' nothin' I can't take

Ooh, this is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
Ooh, this is a nice mess, I don't feel so lonely
