Brick By Boring Brick (Acoustic Live, MTV Unplugged)
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 butterflies
With her feet on the ground And her head in the clouds
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 12 Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick or the wolves gonna blow it down
With her feet on the ground And her head in the clouds
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 But 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
