The musician and listener have a strangely intimate relationship.

Man in the box

Sing me your troubles.

Man in the box

Sing me your woes.

I'll forever know you

And we can help each other

If I only listen.

Man in the box

Sing me your troubles.

Man in the box

Sing me your woes.

I'll never even know you

And we could help each other

If your truths weren't so real.

Man in the box

Sing me your troubles.

Man in the box

Sing me your woes.

We'll never communicate,

And we can do nothing for each other

Because your words hurt. . . .

Both singer and listener.
