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
