Heart-Shaped Box Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
And I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
And I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

[Chorus]
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Oh, your advice

[Verse 2]
Meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
I cut myself on angel hair and on baby's breath
Broken hymen of "Your Highness," I'm left to turn black
Don't throw me down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back

[Chorus]
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Oh, your advice
[Verse 1]
And she eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
And I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
And I've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
And I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black

[Chorus]
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Oh, your advice
Oh, your advice
Your advice
