Pandora Lyrics

Pandora
Words by Shawn and John L. Mullins

We opened Pandora's box just to see if she was home 
She had an apple pie a jaundiced eye and a big red telephone 
She said "boy's I know why you are here, you wanna take me for a ride
But before we go I think you ought to know
that I'm awful hard to hide 
I'm awful hard to hide 
So how will you do in this town boy's(sic)
How will you call him dead? 
Will he die in his rack from a heart attack or from a bullet through his head?"
Then she whispered as we took her out 
"He need not be afraid 
'Cause deep inside the system hide's the truth 
That you've betrayed the truth that you've betrayed."
Nowhere for us to run 
Thirty silver pieces got the job done got the job done 
Poor Pandora's life it was not as it had been portrayed 
A government, an accident and now the bed is made 
And we tried to put her back but we were defeated by our greed 
Tried again while shadowmen did their dirty little deed 
Their dirty little deed 
We opened Pandora's box just to see what we could find 
And in there was a note pandora wrote just before she lost her mind 
It said "my passing will allow a peak(sic) behind the veil of secrecy 
It's farther out than you can see 
Just no telling where that trail will lead 
No telling where that trail will lead."
