Lyrics

they say if you build it
they say that he will come
they say if you build it
they say that he will come
but my bricks are almost gone
and i ain't seen no one

my shoes fit my feet
and my key fits in the door
my shoes fit my feet
and my key fits in the door
and my belly's full
but still i keep wanting more

i met this little boy
he seemed to good to be true
i met this little boy
he seemed to good to be true
and now he's off playin' around
and i'm stuck here feeling blue
