[Verse 1]
The Thunder Box red backs at the rim
I saw that shine and I knew I was in
One hand on the wall, one hand on the door
Sweat in my shirt and a stamp on the floor
Out of paper, yeah, I'm cut too deep
Legs like lead and I can't stay neat
This old shed's got me back to the bone
And I ain't leaving till I clear this load
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Don't make me beg
Every step now
Feels like lead
Hold on, hold on
I'm almost there
One more second
And I'm outta this lair
[Chorus]
The Thunder Box red backs at the rim
Give me a deep hole, let me get in
Out of paper and I gotta go
Out of paper and I gotta go
The Thunder Box red backs at the rim
Give me a deep hole, let me get in
Out of paper and I gotta go
Out of paper and I gotta go
[Verse 2]
Tin roof rattlin', flies in the crack
Boots on the boards and my back's gone slack
There's a note on the wall, but it's old and torn
A bad day's laugh with a new day's scorn
I tried to wait, I tried to be cool
But my guts don't care for no man's rule
I hear that rush like a freight train call
And I know right then I'm gonna lose it all
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, hold on
Don't make me wait
This ain't a joke
This ain't a game
Hold on, hold on
I'm on the edge
Let me through now
Before I break
[Chorus]
The Thunder Box red backs at the rim
Give me a deep hole, let me get in
Out of paper and I gotta go
Out of paper and I gotta go
The Thunder Box red backs at the rim
Give me a deep hole, let me get in
Out of paper and I gotta go
Out of paper and I gotta go
[Bridge]
When the whole world goes hard and mean
And the night gets stuck between
A locked-up gut and a busted grin
You don't ask twice, you just dive in
Tear that ache right out of my chest
Let me finish what I started best
[Breakdown]
Out of paper
I gotta go
Out of paper
I gotta go
[Chorus]
The Thunder Box red backs at the rim
Give me a deep hole, let me get in
Out of paper and I gotta go
Out of paper and I gotta go
The Thunder Box red backs at the rim
Give me a deep hole, let me get in
Out of paper and I gotta go
Out of paper and I gotta go
