Miike Snow - Black Tin Box Lyrics
I bought you a black tin box,
Something to put your jewelry in.
But it struck me as the property of the childless.
It was cold out and warm in.
The edges were sharp.
Take me down the hillside.
Show me where they used to play.
Take me down the hillside.
Show me where they used to play.
Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks
Thought he could survive in the black tin box.
Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks
Thought you could survive in the black tin box.
I mailed you a Dutch postcard
Where I tried to be comforting.
There were kids, my neighbors, on the sidewalk
Playing superman.
But the edges were sharp.
The edges were sharp.
Take me down the hillside.
Show me where they used to play.
Take me down the hillside.
Show me where they used to play.
Your sisters and you,
Running through the orange light of the after-day.
Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks
Thought he could survive in the black tin box.
Black sheep, black sheep, in the aftershocks
Thought you could survive in the black tin box.

Rare Achievement unlocked - Hidden gem of a song
This is, hands down, my favorite Miike Snow song.
I'm kind of obsessed with this song. Good job!!
great tune
This is like a top 10 secret song
Lykke Li kills it on this. So good!
Holy heck this is a sick beat
This makes my heart happy.
This is much better than his recent electronic dance music remixes. I like this miike snow. Much more meaningful, not a fucking clubbing song. Nothing wrong with clubbing songs, but that isn't why I think most of us liked him in the first place.
+Jpiggye
Amen. This track came out in 2012 tho..
+Jpiggye Miike Snow is a band, not a person.
How does this only have 1500 views yet?
Maybe because they've uploaded 3 yrs after their album release?
