Lyrics

You walk I'll run And follow right behind you You call I'll come And I won't remember where I come from Over there At the end of the bar This fish keeps swimming In a jar I feel A tug on the line Which end Will I be on this time Don't box me in Don't box me in One day I'll show them Just what I'm made of The'll be A time When I won't remember what I was afraid of And I'll be swimming In the sea No banging on this glass For me My eyes saw red When my world turned blue So I'm leaving Everyting that's true And I'll jump into A brand new skin And then you won't be able To box me in Don't box me in Don't box me in Don't box me in Let go There's a few places 'round That I've never been There's an ocean out there That I gotta swim There's a river that flows Right past my door I wonder I wonder What And if sometimes I can't seem to talk You'll know this blackboard lacks A piece of chalk Don't box me in I told you not to Don't box me in Don't box me in Don't box me in Let go
Quotations and trivia
Robin Yeager remembers:
When the time came to write the music for the credit roll at the end of Rumblefish, Stewart called on Stanard Ridgway of Wall of Voodoo (Mexican Radio). Stan was on tour in Boston when he got the call to fly out to California. He left the stage, went to the Boston airport caught the red eye and arrived at the studio early in the morning. Armed with studio strength coffee, he and Stewart began to collaborate on the lyrics. “Don't Box Me In” was written and recorded in one very long day. We put Stan back on the plane for a 7:00am flight to meet the band on tour in New Jersey (I think). The mix that is used on the soundtrack album and the credit roll was actually a rough mix of mine to ½” tape done the next day. I don’t recall exactly why this was necessary to use my rough mix, but I believe that the 2” multitrack master tape was damaged in transit at some point. My rough was the only survivor.
(The 24 track master seems to have been damaged by Stan Ridgway himself...)
