Fun 04:14
Why does everybody love me so much You know I never try to sell them nothing I only try to dish my body out to leave no one hungry They wanna kiss my mouth They’re always coming up behind me and tearing my clothes They’re breathing down my neck But to me it’s all just something over my shoulder Over my shoulder One of them reminds me of a man I used to know And anytime anybody wants me no matter how i feel or who they are I just put on my little hat to have fun, but i’m faking it (Fun) Am I having it yet? I’m faking it I’m faking it Why do I feel so sick I guess I’d rather feel sick than nothing Cause I’ve got nothing else going on but the promise of unending tedium My one private thought Is just embarrassing shit everyone already knows That this a heat I’m giving off To draw them toward me is only leaving me colder Leaving me colder And I’m only down among them them because I needed a place to go Anytime anybody wants me no matter how I feel or who they are, I just put on my little hat to have fun But I’m faking it (Fun) Am I having it yet? I’m faking it. I’m faking it. I sit up On the mattress I sit up Am I having it yet? I’m faking it I’m faking it I’m faking it

Brick 04:53
You think your walls are enough You think your tower’s tall You think you're made of stronger stuff Than any cannon ball Then I come in hurtling through space I break your windowpane There is a message tied to my face And you can read it orbital plane Saying that you should not have ever tried To build a life with me I might seem like i’m fortified But I will come crashing down I will go flying I am not just a rock In the background Unless you can lift me up Without even trying Your better just brace yourself For the let down Before you dug me from the earth i was as soft as clay I hardened on the day that you gave me birth and now my edges must be sanded away I tried to keep the pirates out By holding back the sea But there was never any doubt That I would come crashing down That I would go flying That I am not just a rock In the background Unless you can lift me up Without even trying You'd better just brace yourself For the let down And it's rue you could bruise if you use me to practice your self defense But i’ll break like a brick on the blade of your outstretched hands I will come crashing down I will go flying I am not just a rock In the background Unless you can lift me up Without even trying Your better just brace yourself For the melt down

You were a tarpaulin On which I projected a silent movie Of shadow and light It wasn’t often In fact you never once said you loved me But that wasn't quite What I wanted What I wanted When I loved you When I thought Shutting up was just what I should do Because I saw that That you no longer felt it But could almost get used to that You could always lie I could always get by By just feeling nothing Because once I'd felt it It was only a matter of time It was only a matter of time Before it went Before I lost it and this feeling of being upset was the only return i could get on the time i’d spent I never thanked you You left me with so many happy memories That I've got stored away You didn’t have to You could have ended it more abruptly But you chose to stay Which I wanted Which I wanted When I loved you Because I thought Shutting up was just what I should do And I saw that That you no longer felt it But I almost got used to that And by the time we were done This was almost as fun As us being nothing but I guess we lost it and if i'm no longer bereft it’s because there’s not anything left to discuss and it might be impossibly sad But it's more than the nothing we had Ahead of us
