Built My Home On Hollow Ground

Lyrics

[Chorus] Built my home on hollow ground Too proud to grow from my roots I got a few friends and I wish they were mine Can't get close 'til I buy my time [Verse 1] There's a closet for the pretty ones (Ooh) They have no eyes but they're a hell of a sight (Ooh) Get too close and you'll find a bridge between you Cross it to find your synthetic light [Chorus] Built my home on hollow ground Too proud to grow from my roots I got a few friends and I wish they were mine Can't get close 'til I buy my time [Verse 2] There's a man who lives in your favorite watch *tongue clicking* He rides the second hand until he slips He holds on tight, but no fail he falls At twelve and lands on six (Phew!) [Chorus] Built my home on hollow ground Too proud to grow from my roots I got a few friends and I wish they were mine Can't get close 'til I buy my time [Verse 3] There's a school for trolls (A school for trolls) That teaches them how to make a human cry: (A human cry) Tell them that they're lovely, then say (Lovely, say) You always lie (Ha ha ha ha) [Chorus] Built my home on hollow ground Too proud to grow from my roots I got a few friends and I wish they were mine Can't get close 'til I buy my time [Outro] No, I can't get close 'Til I buy my time
