While  you build your mountain
But  to build a mountain
See  I thought we all know
 No Chord
 You gotta dig a hole
 Not everybody knows
We're  just digging holes
 No Chord
 Beside the marble road
And  maybe ethanol is methadone for oil addiction
Maybe  we'll all go green in desert shades of camouflage
Go  ask the bloodhounds 'til they find the mirage
 Do the interlude again here
While  you build your mountain
But  to build a mountain
 (Hit Once)
 See I thought you all know
 No Chord
 You gotta dig a hole
 Thought everybody knows
 That we're digging holes
 No Chord
 By the grassy knoll
Maybe  a wolf is not a devil he just plays one on TV
Maybe  a Cuban Bay stay leaves you less than overjoyed
Ask  the fox about progress they'll say what's been destroyed
 Interlude thing here again
While  you build your mountain
But  to build a mountain
See  I thought we all know
 no chord
 You gotta dig a hole
 Thought everybody knows
We're  just digging holes
 Yeah sorry that's how it goes
 And I thought everybody knows
 We're stockpiling souls
 No Chord
 They say it so it goes
 The Go through first half of the intro slowed down. and wall ah
 shes done.
