Building a Whale Lyrics by The Velvet Teen

Cum Laude!

2006

Cheer up, cherub
Why's your halo burning out
A mutual friend
It makes me scream and shout
You hear the creaks above your bed
You hear my girlfriend cum laude
Kiss her hand in front of me
And take her out when i'm not around
So? well?
Is there a lie that you will not tell
There's no reversing the spell
Of if you don't who will
My body is a building
And i am burning down
I will burn, burn, burn
Until i hear no sound
I ask my friends for their advice
They say, boy, what goes around
Little by little they lift the veil
That you wear so well
So? well?
Is there a lie that you will not tell
There's no reversing the spell
Of if you don't who will
So win, we will
Is there a lie that you will not tell
There's no reversing the spell
Of if you don't who will
