lyrics  (or you can return to the main lord eric page)

Longbox

Serious as a heart attack wearing basic black
And you know that she knew me
I'm frivolous as a cd3, she's so good for me
But what good does this do me?

'Cause I don't want to spend my time
Living in the wrong damn 80s
Hold on babies, here we go

Take all my dreams, put 'em in a longbox
Send 'em back to 1989
And that's fine

Pretty face in Cure-girl white on a Friday night
And I find that I'm frozen
What to do as a teenage fool under high school rule
When you're finally chosen?

But I don't want to spend my time
Thinking of the road not taken
I'm through making fools of me

Tell it goodbye, sentimental voodoo
Tell it goodbye, half-forgotten hoodoo
Tell it goodbye

Halfway through the song
Or thereabout I realized
That everything was wrong
The singer just shut down

I watched all my schemes vanish with the longbox
Guess it wasn't meant to be my time
And that's fine
Tell it goodbye
