One possible theory as to the origin of the jack-in-the-box involves a 13th century English prelate Sir John Schorne who is often pictured holding a boot with a devil in it. It is believed in folklore that he once cast the devil into a boot to protect the village of North Marston in Buckinghamshire. If it's true, it would explain why in French, a jack-in-the-box is called a "diable en boîte" (literally "boxed devil"). [wowwiki]
most of us have a box. in the box is pain and something else.
and now, verses from jackofshapes:
out of the box
comes a devil and a clown
laughs as he whips you
until you join his parade
he is one without
from his blood flowers grow
he chews at the raw spots
that heal over with a scar
