Lyric Breakdown

Intro (23 seconds)

She lives in a fairy tale (3 seconds)

Somewhere too far for us to find (3 seconds)

Forgotten the taste and smell (3 seconds)

Of the world that she's left behind (3 seconds)

It's all about the exposure the lens I told her (5 seconds)

The angles were all wrong now (3 seconds)

She's ripping wings off of butterflies (4 seconds)

keep your feet on the ground (4 seconds- with instrumental)

when your head's in the clouds (7 seconds- with instrumental)

Well go get your shovel (3 seconds)

And we'll dig a deep hole (2 seconds)

To bury the castle, bury the castle (6 seconds)

Well go get your shovel (3 seconds)

And we'll dig a deep hole (3 seconds)

To bury the castle, bury the castle (5 seconds)

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da, ba da ba ba ba da ba ba (12 seconds- with instrumental)

So one day he found her crying (3 seconds)

Coiled up on the dirty ground (4 seconds)

Her prince finally came to save her (3 seconds)

And the rest you can figure out (3 seconds)

But it was a trick (3 seconds)

And the clock struck twelve (3 seconds)

Well make sure to build your home brick by boring brick (5 seconds)

or the wolf's gonna blow it down (2 seconds)

keep your feet on the ground (6 seconds- with instrumental)

when your head's in the clouds (6 seconds- with instrumental)

Well go get your shovel (3 seconds)

And we'll dig a deep hole (3 seconds)

To bury the castle, bury the castle (6 seconds)

Well go get your shovel (3 seconds)

And we'll dig a deep hole (3 seconds)

To bury the castle, bury the castle (6 seconds)

Ohhhhh (13 seconds with instrumental)

Well you built up a world of magic (3 seconds)

Because your real life is tragic (3 seconds)

Yeah you built up a world of magic (5 seconds)

If it's not real (2 seconds)

You can't hold it in your hand (3 seconds)

You can't feel it with your heart (5 seconds)

And I won't believe it (3 seconds)

But if it's true (2 seconds)

You can see it with your eyes (3 seconds)

Oh even in the dark (2 seconds)

And that's where I want to be, yeah (5 seconds)

Go get your shovel (3 seconds)

We'll dig a deep hole (3 seconds)

To bury the castle, bury the castle (6 seconds)

Well go get your shovel (3 seconds)

And we'll dig a deep hole (3 seconds)

To bury the castle, bury the castle (7 seconds)
