(Track 7 on Red/Blue Choir CD)
SOLO:
Why don't you look at the price you’re paying?
Walk in, take a look inside
I've moved back the tables and the chairs to the wall
The valuable things I've had to hide

And brought the city to its knees
Get Down!

Because of curiosity
We see depression
I'm just riddled with anxiety
And some obsession
I'm the lowest level, as a matter of fact
I often dwell for days on this
And quite a lot of negative aggression
Aggression!
And when I see your smiling face
I'm so disgraced
And if you're holding out on me
I get curious, curious as I can be
You opened up the Red Box
Curious, as curious as I can be
You opened up the Red Box

Hey, Pandora, why’d you do it?
Hey, Pandora, you just blew it!
Hey!
SOLO:
Curious as I can be, curious as I can be
Yeah!
Curiosityyyyy!
