I'm building us of bricks
'Cause I've learned my lesson of sticks
This way we'll hold through the wind of the winter
Till summer I'll keep
Our hearts in a box
As we sleep the shivering city talks
The ice melts
A ground comes undone
We build a little wooden raft
That makes berth in the sun
Do-do do do do do do do do do
Do-do do do do do do-do-do
Do-do do do do do do do do do
Do-do do do do do do-do-do
The theory was if we built of wood we're an A-frame cabin
Still where we stood
Last year till the spring bu*terflies came in
Kissed our noses
Oh but the pressure's much too much
There's too much snow on our heads
I touch your wooden hand
But we're caving in now
The ice melts
Oh our planks come undome
So much for our little raft
Where where is the sun?
Do-do do do do do do do do do
Do-do do do do do do-do-do
Do-do do do do do do do do do
Do-do do do do do do-do-do
