The Man in the box.

Yes,this is the title of the very old 'Alice in Chain' Song.Just, heard it again,this time from the re-united surviving members of the band.Layne staley has been dead now for almost 4 years now.This song was played again in 2005 Tsunami Benefit Show.The only 'surprise' change being the dead lead singer Layne replaced by my current favorite "Maynard James Keenan" from Tool. Can you believe my luck ! I have always believed that nobody can say "Jeeeeeesus" like the way Layne said in the original.Keenan gets as close to this as anybody else can. Awesome performance ! Still playing it in repeat mode.

I'm the man in the box

Buried in my shit
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
'Jeeeeeeeesus' Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut

I'm the dog who gets beat
Shove my nose in shit
Won't you come and save me, save me

Feed my eyes, can you sew them shut?
'Jeeeeeeeesus' Christ, deny your maker
He who tries, will be wasted
Feed my eyes now you've sewn them shut
