[00:00.34]Out on the curb again
[00:03.62]On the curb again
[00:06.83]I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
[00:09.92]Out on the curb again
[00:11.94]Out on the curb again
[00:15.26]On the curb again
[00:18.59]I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
[00:21.54]Out on the curb again
[00:23.87]I’m in my room making cardboard castles
[00:26.33]With shoestring rope
[00:27.96]Soup spoon drawbridge
[00:29.39]Tinfoil moat
[00:30.96]I’m still dreaming after all these years
[00:35.80]I’m in my room making cardboard castles
[00:38.11]With shoestring rope
[00:39.59]Soup spoon drawbridge
[00:41.11]Tinfoil moat
[00:42.76]I’m still dreaming after all these years
[00:48.36]Because if we don’t build it who will
[00:50.43]I do things on a shoestring
[00:52.40]That you couldn’t do for a cool mil
[00:54.84]I run with no laces and when I fall I start
[00:57.92]To build my Taj Mahal with sh*t I found at Dollarmart
[01:00.89]This life’s our greatest project
[01:02.46]The journey’s all an art
[01:03.73]But I built my perfect nest
[01:04.99]And it’s ‘bout to fall apart
[01:06.74]Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high
[01:09.72]And I give my tower teeth
[01:11.11]And I watch it bite the sky
[01:12.58]Because I might just cry if I don’t keep it moving
[01:15.13]I focus on what I can make
[01:16.76]And not what just got ruined
[01:18.12]‘Cause every stone will crumble down to dust
[01:21.76]To dust to dust
[01:24.68]And I say love thy neighbor and I say f**k thy hater
[01:27.50]There’s nothing I can’t solve with duct tape
[01:29.39]And construction paper
[01:30.57]I don’t want a Band-Aid
[01:32.08]I’ll only rip it off I’ll rip it off
[01:35.06]Out on the curb again
[01:38.45]On the curb again
[01:41.57]I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
[01:44.53]Out on the curb again
[01:46.69]Out on the curb again
[01:49.83]On the curb again
[01:52.80]I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
[01:57.05]Out on the curb again
[02:00.11]I know someday I’ll pass and maybe then rest
[02:03.02]I’m laying on my back
[02:04.47]Heaven’s my bench press
[02:05.78]‘Cause my imagination is crazy as Glenn Beck
[02:08.82]A cloud is floating by in the shape of a rent check
[02:11.86]And when the world ends
[02:13.20]That’s what I’ll plan towards
[02:14.27]Then I’ll trust girlfriends and maybe landlords
[02:17.29]Cause I been played but I’m looking for more
[02:19.79]I say what would I gain if I took it to court
[02:22.95]Cause if people were perfect
[02:24.44]Then there wouldn’t be war
[02:25.40]We stay pushing but once we get a foot in the door
[02:28.80]We get our toes chopped off and a foot of manure
[02:31.80]I still gotta believe people
[02:33.63]Are good at the core
[02:34.83]Cause if we weren’t what’s at stake
[02:36.33]Why would we stay to break what we make
[02:38.73]And create all these beautiful mistakes
[02:40.58]When they blow our house down
[02:42.98]Let’s draw on the walls the walls the walls
[02:46.07]I’m in my room making cardboard castles
[02:48.40]With shoestring rope
[02:50.20]Soup spoon drawbridge
[02:51.48]Tinfoil moat
[02:53.07]I’m still dreaming after all these years
[02:57.80]I’m in my room making cardboard castles
[03:00.36]With shoestring rope
[03:01.84]Soup spoon drawbridge
[03:03.44]Tinfoil moat
[03:05.04]I’m still dreaming after all these years
[03:10.30]Out on the curb again
[03:13.25]On the curb again
[03:16.39]I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
[03:19.42]Out on the curb again
[03:21.53]Out on the curb again
[03:25.10]On the curb again
[03:27.81]I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm
[03:31.09]Out on the curb again
[03:33.15]I’m in my room making cardboard castles
[03:35.90]With shoestring rope
[03:37.24]Soup spoon drawbridge
