Precious Box (Remastered 2006)

In my house there's a circle where the life comes in

From the stars to my home down through the stone

I could have been so alone

Without my precious box

Have I a family I guess not

I've never seen a lot of beauty

In my life

Well in your house there are servants and the lights all dim

Such a beautiful home your agent's on the phone they never

Leave you alone

The party never stops

You say that's fantasy I say “So what I need a little beauty”

So let me in

You know you've kind of got under my skin

You know we never see a lot of the action round here

My dear

You may want to strip again

And you look so fine in your Gucci suit

And you're making more money than your daddy

Could have imagined

But people can go out of fashion honey yeah any time

So take that picture stop acting so dumb

Don't you know that the moment will come

I will find someone like you

But with something extra I'm sorry baby

I don't know why

I don't know why that is

The systematic breakdown of my community

You know I hate my job I try to save but God

There's just never enough

Switch on the pressure - stops

You know the one for me she's on Fox

And she's a little beauty

Give me your life give me your life I want it

Because lately it's so freezing out here

(This side of the glass life keeps kicking my a**)

In so many ways but you make it good

Made me the kind of happy that my baby never could

(This side of the glass)

So take that picture stop acting so dumb

Don't you know that the moment will come

I will find someone like you

But with something extra I'm so sorry baby

I don't know why

I don't know why that is

Precious keeps me company

Keeps me from being alone

Because no-one comes in the morning

No-one comes in the evening time

I'd sit and wait for the phone to ring

I could be waiting my whole damn life

So sick of the same old faces

In this street where nobody talks to me

And the funny side of the situation is

I don't care I'll always be there

When you come down from the sky

And make yourself at home

In my house

Because these days it's the money the money

The money honey or your life

I said don't you know you can't have both

Stop acting so dumb

The moment will come

I will find someone like you

Something extra (always happens baby to me) sorry baby

I don't know why (something)

Said I don't know why that is

You may want to strip again

You may want to let me in

You may want to sacrifice

More than you think is fair or right

You may want to think again

You may want to watch your friends

You may want to change your mind

You may wish you could turn back time
