At the sharp end of the view, the edge of me and you
And all good sense dared tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees, how I'm tremblin' on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the murmur
Are you laughin' at me now?
In my circumstance when still I wear your crown
My life's penitence, for what?
What's so funny? A box full o' honey
What I thought a pretty tune was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt, a scratchin' at the hurt
But I so generously did leave you
Are you laughin' at me now?
In my circumstance when still I wear your crown
Some cruel penitence, for what?
What's so funny? Box full o' honey
Is she flirting with me now?
Ooh, is she dallying with me now?
Ooh, are you flirting with me now?
You'll always be my queen of tumble down, Miss Melancholy
Are you laughin' at me now?
In my circumstance when still I wear your crown
And my life's a penitence, for what?
What's so funny? Ain't it funny? A box full o' honey
