The girl in the black box
Only smiles when the box is open
The girl in the the black box
Says things that are better unspoken
Chasing a dream of Venus in furs
She laughs, she knows, she wants too much
Don't even think you can free her
The rule is: look, but don't touch
The girl in the black box
Only smiles when the box is open
The girl in the the black box
Says things that are better unspoken
Bribing the shadows of perfection
To get one more look of her face
Be well-prepared for rejection
The rule is: shadows own her dark place
Visions of having a chance with her
Disappears along with the black box
Swallowed by the midnight lady
To continue her dance in eternity
She is the girl in the black box
Only smiles when the box is open
The girl in the the black box
Chasing a dream, chasing a dream
