Don’t Uncork What You Can’t Contain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] "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" [Verse 2] 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: [Chorus] "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" [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] '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" [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
