Cardboard Castles Lyrics

Out on the curb again
On the curb again
I've come to learn it's hard and firm
Out on the curb again
Out on the curb again
On the curb again
I've come to learn it's hard and firm
Out on the curb againI'm in my room making cardboard castles
with shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge, tin foil moat
I'm still dreamin after all these years
I'm in my room making cardboard castles
with shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge, tin foil moat
I'm still dreamin after all these yearsBecause if we don't build it who will?
I do things on a shoestring that you couldn't do for a cool mil
I run with no laces, and when I fall I start to build my Taj Mahal with shit I found at Dollarmart
This life's our greatest project

The journey's all an art
But I built my perfect nest, and it's bout to fall apart
Again and again and then I just make it twice as high
And then I give my tower teeth, and I watch it bite the sky
Because I might just cry if I don't keep it movin
I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined
Cause every stone will crumble down to dust, to dust, to dust
And I said love thy neighbor, and I say fuck thy hater
There's nothing I can't solve with duct tape and construction paper
I don't want a Band-Aid on, we rip it off, I'll rip it offOut on the curb again
On the curb again
I've come to learn it's hard and firm
Out on the curb again
Out on the curb again
On the curb again
I've come to learn it's hard and firm
Out on the curb againI know someday I'll pass, and maybe then rest
I'm layin on my back, Heaven's my bench press
Cause my imagination is crazy as Glenn Beck
A cloud is floating by in the shape of a rent check
And when the world ends, that's what I'll plan towards
Then I'll trust girlfriends, and maybe landlords
Cause I been played but I'm lookin for more
I say "What would I gain if I took it to court?"
Cause if people were perfect then there wouldn't be war
We stay pushin but once we get a foot in the door
We get our toes chopped off and a foot of manure
I still gotta believe people are good at the core
Cause if we weren't what's at stake?
Why would we stay to break what we make
And create all these beautiful mistakes?
When they blow our house down let's draw on the walls, the walls, the wallsI'm in my room making cardboard castles
With shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge
Tinfoil moat
I'm still dreaming after all these yearsOut on the curb again
On the curb again
I've come to learn it's hard and firm
Out on the curb againI'm in my room making cardboard castles
With shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge
Tinfoil moat
I'm still dreaming after all these years
