Don't Uncork What You Can't Contain

(album: Tales From The Realm Of The Queen Of Pentacles - 2014)

A man finds a bottle on the bottom shelf
Forgotten and covered in dust
The label is already half torn off
But open it up he must
As the corkscrew into the cork it goes
He hears the weird refrain

"Do what you like but never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain
Do what you like but never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain"

Pandora had a pretty little box
And wisely she kept it hid
'Til one day she couldn't resist
Playing around with the lid
As the shadows grew, the demons flew
This song went around her brain:

"Do what you like but never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain
Do what you like but never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain"
The shadows grew and the demons flew
And the song went around her brain
"Do what you like but never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain"

Macklemore went to the thrift shop
Looking to pop some tags
Found an ancient oil lamp
Hidden among the rags
And he picked it up, he rubbed it down
Thought he'd gone insane

'Cause a genie flew out singing, "Never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain"
Genie flew out singing, "Never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain"
He picked it up, he rubbed it down
Thought he'd gone insane
Genie flew out singing, "Never uncork
Uncork what you can't contain"

Sometimes though you have to
Let out what you're keeping inside
If you keep it all in then your head will spin
And your mouth is all tongue tied
Gotta find the way to say what you say
Get it down on the page or the stage
It's the cage for that tiger rage that you can't contain
Yes, the page and the stage is the cage
For that tiger rage that you can't contain, for real
The page and the stage is the cage
For that tiger rage, what it is that you feel

So do what you like but you'd better uncork
Uncork what you can't contain
Do what you like but you'd better uncork
Uncork what you can't contain
'Cause the page and the stage is the cage
For that tiger rage that'll cause you pain
Do what you like but you'd better uncork
Uncork what you can't contain
