Make my house of bricks 
And I'll stick here when the world [bad word] crashing down around me 

Make your arms a willow tree 
And you can bend with me 
Anywhere I'm going 

Sometimes it's hard to see 
Anything lovely 
All the people around me 
Going for the money and the money 
And the ego 

How can you ask me why 
I need to know before I try? 
I've got to be sure there's more 
Than the money and the money 
And the ego 

Keep your eyes on me 
And I'll look to you so I can see 
What I am here for 

Pull the wool over my eyes 
Please kiss this day goodbye 
Only you can get me going 

Sometimes it's hard to see 
Anything lovely 
All the people around me 
Going for the money and the money 
And the ego 

How can you ask me why 
I need to know before I try? 
I've got to be sure there's more 
Than the money and the money 
And the ego 

When giving up is all you got 
And giving up is all you want 
You hear yourself say you lost the will 
The power 

When giving up is all you got 
And giving up is all you want 
Don't be afraid to sit down 
In your shower 
You can stay in there for hours 

Make my house of bricks 
And I'll stick here when the world [bad word] crashing down around me 

Sometimes it's hard to see 
Anything lovely 
All the people around me 
Going for the money and the money 
And the ego 

How can you ask me why 
I need to know before I try? 
I've got to be sure there's more 
Than the money and the money 
And the ego
