Pandora Lyrics

Words by Shawn and John L. Mullins

 

 We opened Pandora's box just to see if she was home 

 She had an apple pie a jaundiced eye and a big red telephone 

 She said "boy's I know why you are here, you wanna take me for a ride

 But before we go I think you ought to know

 that I'm awful hard to hide 

 I'm awful hard to hide 

 So how will you do in this town boy's(sic)

 How will you call him dead? 

 Will he die in his rack from a heart attack or from a bullet through his
head?"

 Then she whispered as we took her out 

 "He need not be afraid 

 'Cause deep inside the system hide's the truth 

 That you've betrayed the truth that you've betrayed."

 Nowhere for us to run 

 Thirty silver pieces got the job done got the job done 

 Poor Pandora's life it was not as it had been portrayed 

 A government, an accident and now the bed is made 

 And we tried to put her back but we were defeated by our greed 

 Tried again while shadowmen did their dirty little deed 

 Their dirty little deed 

 We opened Pandora's box just to see what we could find 

 And in there was a note pandora wrote just before she lost her mind 

 It said "my passing will allow a peak(sic) behind the veil of secrecy 

 It's farther out than you can see 

 Just no telling where that trail will lead 

 No telling where that trail will lead."
