5) Building The Colossus

Shoring up the sides, pillars hold me up Mortar me here, mortar me there Gonna need stronger underwear uh-huh to keep this spine upright Reaching to the sky, stone by stone A character flaw will bring it all down Gonna have to call the mason 'round uh-huh and sturdy up the ground I wake up close to being just right, then something gets me wound and I start to lose sight of that big, Gold Girl who knows all about stuff, who loves every single body and knows when to shut up I try to build the perfect model of-a who I wanna be There's an ideal person hiding, lurking, waiting inside of me Shoring up the sides, pillars hold me up Mortar me here, mortar me there Gonna need stronger underwear uh-huh to keep this spine upright Reaching to the sky, stone by stone A character flaw will bring it all down Gonna have to call the mason 'round uh-huh and sturdy up the ground I know that up is the general direction of-a where I gotta go to get the best view, there's a lotta rotten beams that I gotta get rid of, gonna sheetrock up, gonna order some steel I try to build the perfect model of-a who I wanna be There's an ideal person hiding, lurking, waiting inside of me Shoring up the sides, pillars hold me up Mortar me here, mortar me there Gonna need stronger underwear uh-huh to keep this spine upright Reaching to the sky, stone by stone A character flaw will bring it all down Gonna have to call the mason 'round uh-huh and sturdy up the ground
