Terracotta Brick

Terracotta brick

Why must you be so hard

And sharp around the edges?

You cut my shins apart

You barely make a sound

As I lay you down

And pick you up again

It's laborious I found

But you're crucial for my money

And my money is essential to my vibe

It is plain to see that I'll be doing this for most of my life

Early morning tin

You pop my lips wide open

Make me in need of chauffeur

You're the hair of the dog

The dirty dog that bit me

Chewed me up and spat me

Out upon the floor

I need you more and more

But you're part of a vicious cycle

That keeps on spinning 'round

And I'm getting dizzy

I think I might fall down

Ooh, down and down and down and down and down and down I go

Down and down and down and down and down and down I go

Unforgiving prick

You crush my fingertips

Hurts so much, it makes me sick

Terracotta brick

And I built you all around me

And I built you very high

I forgot to put in windows

So you won't see me waving goodbye

Oh, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, I dug myself a hole

The painless traitors made of me, there's something that you probably never know
