nothing but a mudpie wrapped up inside with a pretty bow
nothing but a castle built on top of stone but quicksand
and inside these cardboard walls and saran wrap windows
lies a rusty pot of fools gold that you got for your life
are you tired of being wrapped up on loyalty
and you taught yourself to act like royalty
until the day you became prey
as you tripped over your incumbent
you wash your hair in the Luca oil
then you wrap your head with tin foil
prance around in your bathroom
pretending you're a king
just spin me home
sinking faster now
well you can follow your rainbows and i'll follow the sun now
wherever he goes it's not too far to run
so i will follow the sun
follow the sun
nothing but a calender hanging on your wall
that's 23 years old
nothing but a for sale sign
on a house that's already sold
trying to chew through that chocolate covered barbed wire
because they are among the beautiful filth
waiting for you on the other side
just spin me home
sinking faster now
(repeat chorus)
clever lives end up rusty and forgotten
brilliant minds end up with alzheimers
what i thought was so deep
ended up so hollow
and what i thought had meaning
ended up so shallow(repeat chorus 2
