Suzanne Vega - Don't Uncork What You Can't Contain lyrics

A man finds a bottle on the bottom shelf Forgotten and covered in dust The label is already half worn off Still, open it up he must. As the corkscrew into the cork it goes He hears the weird refrain, “Do you 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, Wisely she kept it hid Until one day she couldn’t resist Playing around with the lid As the demons flew and the shadows grew This song went around her brain: “You can do what you like but never uncork Uncork what you can’t contain, You can do what you like but never uncork Uncork what you can’t contain.” As the demons flew and the shadows grew This song went around her brain: “You can 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 So he picked it up and 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 and he rubbed it down Thought he’d gone insane Cause the genie flew out singing “Never uncork Uncork what you can’t contain.” But sometimes though you have to Let out what you’re keeping inside If you keep it all in, your head will spin And your mouth is all tongue tied You’ve got to find the way to say what you say And 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 better uncork Uncork what you can’t contain Do what you like but you 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 better uncork Uncork what you can’t contain
