Brick by Boring Brick

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

[Chorus]
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
And we'll bury the castle
Bury the castle

[Post-Chorus]
Woah
Woah

[Bridge]
Well, you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah, you built up a world of magic
Well, 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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da
Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da
Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba (Ba-ba-ba)
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da
Ba-da-ba-ba, ba-da-ba-ba
Ba-da-ba, ba-da-ba-ba-da
Ba-da-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
