Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Cold coffee in a paper cup Sun goes down I’m waking up Dust motes dance in the hall Shadows stretch against the wall The Rickenbacker hums in my head While the whole town is in bed I flip the switch for the light And start my solo shift tonight [Pre-Chorus] My heart is a drum machine Ticking fast if you know what I mean The tape warbles on the shelf I’m just talking to myself [Chorus] Hey there little red fox Safe inside your wooden box I brought a lemon drop for you And a story that is true About the girl in the gift shop Who makes my heavy heartbeat stop You’re the only one who knows How my quiet courage grows [Post-Chorus] Sweet and sour After the hour Sweet and sour In the ivory tower [Break] [Verse] I polished up the mammoth bone Working on my secret throne She left her sweater on the chair I smelled the jasmine in her hair I almost left a little note Inside the pocket of her coat But I just swept the marble floor And locked the heavy wooden door [Chorus] Hey there little red fox Safe inside your wooden box I brought a lemon drop for you And a story that is true About the girl in the gift shop Who makes my heavy heartbeat stop You’re the only one who knows How my quiet courage grows [Bridge] The tape hiss is a lullaby Underneath the plastic sky I’m shaking from the caffeine buzz Loving life for what it was Just a boy and a stuffed friend Waiting for the night to end [Hook] Lemon drops on the glass Watch the midnight minutes pass Lemon drops on the glass Wait for the morning to pass [Chorus] Hey there little red fox Safe inside your wooden box I brought a lemon drop for you And a story that is true About the girl in the gift shop Who makes my heavy heartbeat stop You’re the only one who knows How my quiet courage grows [Outro]
