    The album version lyrics go something like this:

    Unsealed, on a porch a letter sat
    Then you said "I wanna leave it again"
    Once I saw him
    On a beach of weathered sand
    And on the sand
    I wanna leave it again, yeah
    On a weekend, I wanna wish it all away
    And I call out, I say that "I want what I said" and I call out again
    And the reason
    Oughta leave her calm, I know
    I said, "I didn't know wheter I was the boxer or the bag"
    Ah yeah -ah can't you see them?
    Out on the porch, yeah
    But the don't wave
    I see them
    Round the front way, yeah
    And I know and I know, I don't wanna stay
    Make me cry (to Mike, guitar solo)

    (after solo)
    I see.. I don't know something else
    I wanna drum it all away
    I said "I didn't, I didn't know whether I was the boxer or the bag"
    Yeah ah-a ha can't you see them?
    Out on the porch, yeah
    But they don't wave
    I see them
    Round the front way, yeah
    And I know and I know
    I don't wanna stay at all
    I don't wanna stay-ay-ay
    I don't wanna stay-ea-ay-eeaya
    I don't wanna stay
    I
    Don't wanna
    yeah
