 In a Tin-box© 2002 Craig Hubbard Unintended consequences, arise now that he's around

Love for the living, living for love now abounds
But you can't break it, you can't slow it down
You can't stop flowers from growing in this furtile ground

You stir your drink, your cheeks are pink when he smiles at you
You brush his shoulder, sit back down as he studies the menu
Like many years ago, watching your TV
Living in Hollywood just swept you off your feet

And its unabated, its so complicated
Put another dollar in the jukebox
Who's watching over you? Who's taking care of you?
I still love you, even through your just his puppet in a tin-box

I could sit for hours, watching you primp and brush you hair
You'd catch me gazing, laugh and smile as you broke me stare
I couldn't do the lifting, I couldn't carry that weight
I was just a pawn, when I heard you say checkmate

And its unabated, its so complicated
Put another dollar in the jukebox
Who's watching over you? Who's taking care of you?
I still love you, even through your just his puppet in a tin-box
