[Verse 1]
Yeah, what you got in the box?
Ah, just as I thought
A few old bones and some skeletons
That you don't wanna own anymore
What you got in the box?
Come here, let's have a look-see
A few spare parts and a whiplash heart
A certain casualty

[Chorus]
What you got in the box?
(In the box)
Is it a little or a lot?
(In the box)
What you got in the box
For me?

[Verse 2]
Hey what you got in the box?
Yeah, you mind if I take a peek?
Some scars and stars that have long burned out
And your old lying teeth
What you got in the box?
Yeah, you mind if I check under the hood?
A pair of rose-colored spectacles
For when things don't look so good
[Chorus]
What you got in the box?
(In the box)
Is it a little or a lot?
(In the box)
What you got in the box
For me?

[Bridge]
My own is pretty dusty
My own is such a bore
Yeah, but in the light of truth and love
It's too hard to ignore
Yeah, it's too hard to ignore

[Mandolin Solo]

[Verse 3]
Yeah, what you got in the box?
You know, the one you keep under your bed
Under solid lock and key
Right there inside your head
What you got in the box?
Yeah, just as I thought
A few old bones and some skeletons
That you don't wanna own anymore
[Chorus]
What you got in the box?
(In the box)
Is it a little or a lot?
(In the box)
What you got in the box
For me?

[Outro]
Yeah, what you got for me?
(What you got in the box?)
What you got for me?
(What you got in the box?)
