Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Old dusty tape Waiting for a new shape Heavy cardboard box I don't open the locks Faded yellow sun Left when I was young Tapping on the lid Like I was a little kid [Chorus] It’s a quiet joy For a grown-up little boy Hard as rock Frozen on the kitchen clock All these tiny things Hearing what the static sings [Verse] Half-erased dragon head Underneath a messy bed Expired sugar in a pack I’m never going back But I like how this feels Spinning all these rusted wheels Sticker of a happy face Stuck in a lonely place [Pre-Chorus] Everything is slightly wrong Like a lopsided song Fuzz inside the Casio keys Dancing in the summer breeze [Chorus] It’s a quiet joy For a grown-up little boy Hard as rock Frozen on the kitchen clock All these tiny things Hearing what the static sings [Post-Chorus] Those small little things Forgotten paper wings Those small little things What the silence brings [Bridge] Why keep the plastic ring? Or the tangled piece of string? It doesn't make much sense Sitting on the backyard fence The absurdity is sweet Walking down a fuzzy street [Verse] I found a map of the yard Drawn on a birthday card X marks the spot of the cat I forgot all about that The Rickenbacker starts to chime Telling me it’s almost time To tape the box back up tight And turn off the bedroom light [Chorus] It’s a quiet joy For a grown-up little boy Hard as rock Frozen on the kitchen clock All these tiny things Hearing what the static sings [Outro]
