Genie – by Marillion

I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
I’m scared of everything I am
I let the genie out of the box
I’m scared of opening the can
I let the genie out of the box

I had this recurring dream
I was living another life
In another country
In another time

As I got older the dream began to fade away
Until one day
There she was… tapping me on my shoulder

She says she’s got so much to say
But she’s not telling it today
She said “Come back when you’re alone”
But I’m not sure I want to know
Cause maybe her road
Is a one-way street
Maybe her road…

I’m scared of everything I am
I’m scared of opening the can
I’m scared of losing who I am
Think I might’ve taken all I can
I let the genie out of the box

She said there’s a house in your mind
An attic of treasure, a forgotten pleasure park
Waiting inside you in the dark
Don’t leave it behind
Don’t leave it behind

I’m scared of everything I am
I’m scared of opening the can
I’m scared of losin’ who I am
Think I might’ve taken all I can
I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
Out of the box

For the love of Marillion. For the love of this song…and, besides, it is an utterly autobiographical work of art:

I really am scared of everything I am…
scared of opening the can,
scared (terribly scared) of losin’ who I am
I’m sure I’ve taken all I can…
I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
Out of the box…
