Lyrics
On the curb again
On the curb again
Ive come to learn at least its firm
Out on the curb again
Hook
Im in my room making cardboard castles
with shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge
tinfoil moat
Im still dreaming after all these years
(x2)
Verse 1
because if we dont build it who will?
I do things on a shoestring that you couldnt 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 lifes our greatest project
the journeys all an art
But I built my perfect nest
And its bout to fall apart
Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high
And I give my tower teeth
And I watch it bite the sky
Because I might just cry if I dont keep it moving
I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined
Cause every stone will crumble down to dust to to dust (it must)
And I say love thy neighbor
And I say fuck thy hater
There s nothing I cant solve with duct tape and construction paper
I dont want a band aid, Ill only rip it off
Chorus
Verse 2
I know someday Ill pass
And maybe then rest
Im laying on my back
Heavens 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, thats what Ill plan towards
Then Ill trust girlfriends and maybe landlords
Cause I been played but Im looking for more
I say, what would I gain if took it to court
Cause if, If people were perfect then there wouldnt be war
we stay pushing 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 werent, whats at stake
why would we stay to break what we make
And create all these beautiful mistakes
when they blow our house down lets draw on the walls")

Verse 1
And they wonder what our parents say
And they wonder how well raise our children
And they tell me that Im living with a monster
And they whisper that she took up with a villain
But I dont see dragons scales
And I dont see claws and fangs
All Im looking at is arms that hold me
Brown eyes that understand
And when she closed those eyes one final time no pipers came
But I know we got a love thats truer than a military snipers aim
But we wont die in vain
Tie that chain round my waist
And pull me from the bottom of the pit of hell up to your final resting place
Chorus 1
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Youre the altar that I pray to
God is love and love is all we have
Verse 2
We were trynna run from the city
Had the hope and the pride of the kids
People wanna put up walls to divide us
Kinda fitting that we died on a bridge
Same souls, both sides of the banks
They say were different and theyre fillin in the facts
But they put the same metal in the bullets
And they put the same bullets in our backs
Kinda love that we got is one in a mill
Aint no God that I pray to would wanna kill
Its not God but its fear and its politics
And a Molotov that was lit with a dollar bill
Dont say that all is lost
Escape this holocaust
My God, Allah, my darling, star and crescent and my cross
Chorus 2
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Youre the altar that I pray to
God is love and love is all we have
Sarajevo, Sarajevo
I will honor and be faithful
God is love and love is all we have
Verse 3
Where do we come from?
Where do we go?
You could fill up the sea with the things I dont know
But I know what I feel and I know when its real
And I hope that we heal
Were two drops of the blood and tears
Over thousands of years of the clash of the steel
Im not blind to the cycle
We’re pressed in spine of a Bible
They define the divine by the title
But what did Christ say?
To be kind to my rival
Youre my kind of revival
Its true ya, my favorite Hallelujah
You my you my favorite Hallelujah")
