Eminem [Marshall Bruce Mathers III] Detroit, Michigan. U.S.

[Eminem - Music Box lyrics]

Yeah yeah, girl
Can you hear that? It's playing our song
Are you sleepy? Take a nap
You're not afraid of the dark, are you?

You hear the beat as it makes ya
Not want to go to sleep
I knock on Dakota's door it's locked
So I go to creep
'Round the back with binoculars
Not 'cause I wanna peep
But because I'm hungry, she
Smells like tacos, i wanna eat
Visions of hot chocolaty marshmallows
All so sweet with sugar plums oh, look
Here comes Marshall, he's on your street
He's placing hot
Smoldering charcoals beneath your feet
Now walk on 'em he's dancing
With carcasses cheek to cheek
Like a Thanksgiving turkey, a holiday ham
Cinnamon sprinkled on toast
Strawberry marmalade jam
Flavor my favorite graham crackers
With JonBenét Rams'
I guess a modern day Jack the
Ripper is all that I am

(My music box)
'Cause when the lights are off
I see the girl's asleep (My music box)
But I can hear you, my love
You keep calling me (My music box)
Although we're worlds apart
You mean the world to me
(My music box, my music box)
So once you call, I come, I will answer
(My music box)
'Cause when the lights are off
I see the girl's asleep (My music box)
I hear my music box playing a song for me
(My music box) so won't you twirl around and
Do a whirl for me?
(My music box, my music box)
And would you be my private little dancer?

I almost look comatose who wants
To be sober? Gross
I foam like a Doberman, mouth open
I overdose
Put coke up my nostrils in both my holes
Then I plug my nose
My pupils quadruple in size
Eyes are so bugged, i know
I put on my mother's makeup
Get naked and run around
Wavin' the gun around
I think I'm down to a hundred pounds
There's thunder, I wonder how come it rains
But the sun is out?
The devil's upset with his wife
They must be sluggin' it out
I must be buggin' the fuck out
But what the fuck about?
Voices are leading me up to the attic
I love my house
They pull and they tug my blouse
The sound of a music box
Comes from inside a toy chest
But what do I do? It's locked
I pick it and open it
But it's stuffed full of human parts
I dig 'til I find it, I wind it up
And the tune just starts
It's playing a song, so beautiful
And the room is dark
The moon is full, I smell a funeral
Guess I'll loom in the park

(My music box)
'Cause when the lights are off
I see the girl's asleep (My music box)
But I can hear you, my love
You keep calling me (My music box)
Although we're worlds apart
You mean the world to me
(My music box, my music box)
So once you call, I come, I will answer
(My music box)
'Cause when the lights are off
I see the girl's asleep (My music box)
I hear my music box playing a song for me
(My music box) so won't you twirl around and
Do a whirl for me?
(My music box, my music box)
And would you be my private little dancer?

I'm fixated on asphyxiatin' and breakin'
This little chick's neck like a Pixy Stick
The sick
Satan-worshippin' bitches get horse whippings
I'm in the back
Through the back door slippin'
Through the crack
Leavin' the corpse drippin'
The mortician of love, sent from above
Forced entry
The more wenchy the more stingy I become
Been doing this for more
Than a quarter-century, i'm just numb
Am I dreaming
Is it real? Someone pinch me on the buns
The time has come to tie her up
Gotta roll me the ladder
I've had enough of the chatter
Climb up to the window, look at her
Then climb in slow to shatter her
Brain matter and batter her
With a bat a matter of fact
That will splatter her but before I do that
I'll have a chat to flatter her
Give her two compliments back to back
Like "Tabitha i'm your secret admirer
I'm back to ravish ya
So strong is your fight
But you're no match for Dracula"
Prolonging her plight as I go
Back to stabbin' her dismember her limbs
Simple as that: cadaver her
Zoom in with the lens
Then pan back the camera
Stand back, 'cause here comes your man Jack
So Pamela

(My music box)
'Cause when the lights are off
I see the girl's asleep (My music box)
But I can hear you, my love
You keep calling me (My music box)
Although we're worlds apart
You mean the world to me
(My music box, my music box)
So once you call, I come, I will answer
(My music box)
'Cause when the lights are off
I see the girl's asleep (My music box)
I hear my music box playing a song for me
(My music box) so won't you twirl around and
Do a whirl for me?
(My music box, my music box)
And would you be my private little dancer?
