Steve Rea - Brick by Boring Brick lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 angles were all wrong now She's ripping wings off of bu*terflies [Pre-hook] Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds [Hook] 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 [Break] Ba-da-ba, ba-da ba-ba-ba [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 house brick by boring brick Or the wolf's gonna blow it down [Pre-hook] Keep your feet on the ground When your head's in the clouds [Hook] 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 [Bridge] Well you built up a world of magic Because your real life is tragic Yeah you built up a world of magic [Verse 3] 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 Then you can see it with your eyes Oh, even in the dark And that's where I want to be, yeah [Hook] 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 [Break] Ba-da-ba, ba-da ba-ba-da Ba-da ba-ba, ba-da-ba ba
