So go ahead and build that wall
Build it five miles thick and twenty stories tall
It's not as though you've got a lot to hide at all
He's a non, he's a non, he's a non, he's a non-starter
He's a non, he's a non, he's a non, he's a non-starter
Let's change the ending to this book
Bleach the pages clean and take another look
Let's make it worth the chance that no one ever took
He's a non, he's a non, he's a non, he's a non-starter
He's a non, he's a non, he's a non, he's a non-starter
So tell him how it's gonna end
With him in tears and with a broken heart again
He never heard a word you said
He thought he had the go ahead
He's a non, he's a non, he's a non, he's a non-starter
He's a non, he's a non, he's a non, he's a non-starter
So tell him how it's gonna end
With him in tears and with a broken heart again
He never heard a word you said
He thought he had the go ahead

Sooner or later, you'll learn what I did
'Til then I'm not gonna tell you
I used to be a real dope of a kid
Not the kind that you would ever wish well to
Every night, I found something to swipe
My grandfather's whisky, a rusty old knife
I used to think that I was doomed to be caught
But that wasn't what did me in
(chorus)
Every time you look at me, it's like you throw the book at me
And I'm still trying to save some face from other times I lied
Everything is pain to me, it wouldn't be the same to me
Unless you came along for the ride...
When I get back from Juvenile Hall
I'll have a little gift to give you
And then you can help me get this ankle brace off
And maybe I can run away with you
You and I share a magical bond
The love of two criminals, born on the run
I know you think that we're doomed to be caught
But I won't let that happen to us
(chorus)
and we both died
I've been thinking all these dark thoughts
I've been trying to hold them in
So when you ask and I don't tell you
It's just that I've been thinking about
Breaking this window and making you....
Well, actually, you don't want to know.
Just trust me.
(chorus x2)

Rhymes with Lucia

When you were young and you would kiss me on the mouth,
Lucia, I would always fall over myself
But now you're older and you feel you're unattractive to me
Forcing me to prove it isn't so
Over again
We will be romantic again
But it's hard to write a song
When nothing rhymes with Lucia
Every single morning, right before we go to work
A simple peck on either cheek has been enough
But if we fight to keep this fire from dying out
We will discover that our hearts are still aglow with love
Over again
We will be romantic again
Even though, as I've said
Nothing rhymes with Lucia
I bought a picnic basket and a picnic blanket too
Forgot that you're allergic to the grass
Then I bought some candles and the curtains caught aflame
Until you beat them out and I remembered why I love you
I know it's been a while since I bought you anything
But candy, flowers, or that quarter-carat ring
But that's just why I love you, it's because you're hard to shop for
You're unique and you don't rhyme with anything
Over again,
We will be romantic again
Even though, as I've said
Nothing rhymes with Lucia
