Black Box – Stan Walker
DSending out a mayday, we're Cgoing down
The Cthing we could have done, would have Gturned it round
DEverything we had scattered everyCwhere
CSearching through the wreckage of a Glove affair
DGot something to Csay? 
Say it to Cme, not everyone Gelse
DYou say that I'm to Cblame
My words are in Cvain, don't go fooling youGrself
There's a Dlittle black box here Csomewhere in the ocean
CHolding all the truth about Gus
There's a Dlittle black box, a Crecord of emotion
CEverything that ever Gwas
DYou may deny it, Cbut when I find it
CI'm gonna play it Galoud to the world
There's a Dlittle black Cbox
There's a Clittle black Gbox
DLiving under pressure when you get Cdeep
You Cleft me on my own at six Ghundred feet
DI was looking round for a Clittle help
But Ceveryone was looking out fGor themselves
DGot something to Csay? 
Say it to Cme, not everyone Gelse
DYou say that I'm to Cblame
My words are in Cvain, don't go fooling youGrself
There's a Dlittle black box here Csomewhere in the ocean
CHolding all the truth about Gus
There's a Dlittle black box, a Crecord of emotion
CEverything that ever Gwas
DYou may deny it, Cbut when I find it
CI'm gonna play it Galoud to the world
There's a Dlittle black Cbox
There's a Clittle black Gbox
EmYou can't stop a Gtrue survivDor
You'll diAscover that on your own
EmCause I'm a Gtrue survivDor
And I'll Abe there after you're Emgone
GLong after you're gonDe, Clong after Cyou’re Ggone
There's a Dlittle black box here Csomewhere in the ocean
CHolding all the truth about Gus
There's a Dlittle black box, a Crecord of emotion
CEverything that ever Gwas
DYou may deny it, Cbut when I find it
CI'm gonna play it Galoud to the world
There's a Dlittle black Cbox
There's a Clittle black Gbox
