wind the box,
pop the clasp
i'm inside,
always inside
lift the lid
and i'll dance
'round and 'round -
just for you,
among your trinkets
did ya ever want
to be
a trapped ballerina
like me?
swirling in
a torn tutu
as the same sweet tune
brings me to life
for you
near the
mickiemouse watch,
grandmother's locket,
a cherry bomb
- where's that ring oh yeah, i hocked it -
rhinestone brooch
and your old man's
bolo tie
he always wore
to the
friday night fish fry
jewellery box, jewellery box
what is in your
jewellery box?
repair jobs
'n old ideas
that still
shine like brand new
and a ballerina
who won't quit out on you
as long as you
keep on winding,
as long
as you
keep
on
winding
