Brick By Boring Brick
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of a world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure
The lens, I told her
The angles were all wrong
Now she's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
So one day he found her crying
Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her
And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick
And the clock struck twelve, well, make sure
To build your home brick by boring brick
Or the wolf's gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds
Well, go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
We'll bury the castle
Bury the castle
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, oh
Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic
If it's not real, you can't hold it in your hand
You can't feel it with your heart
And I won't believe it
But if it's true, you can see it with your eyes
Oh, even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah
Go get your shovel (you'll be better off without me now)
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Go get your shovel (you'll be better off without me now)
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle
Bury the castle
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
Ba-da-ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ha
