Brick by Boring Brick

She lives in a fairy tale

Somewhere too far for us to find

Forgotten the taste and smell

Of the world that she's left behind

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her

The angels 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

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Ba da ba da ba



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 house 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

Well go get your shovel

And we'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle



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

Well if it's true

You can see it with your eyes

Even in the dark

And that's where I want to be, yeah



Go get your shovel

We'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Go get your shovel

We'll dig a deep hole

To bury the castle, bury the castle

Ba da ba da ba...
