Brick (with West Australian Symphony Orchestra) - Live at Kings Park, Perth, Australia - March 2005

Lyrics

Six a.m. day after Christmas
 I throw some clothes on in the dark
 The smell of cold
 Car seat is freezing
 The world is sleeping
 I am numb
 Up the stairs to her apartment
 She is balled up on the couch
 Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte
 They're not home to find us out
 And we drive
 Now that I have found someone
 I'm feeling more alone
 Than I ever have before
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 They call her name at seven-thirty
 I pace around the parking lot
 And I walk down to buy her flowers
 And sell some gifts that I got
 Can't you see
 It's not me you're dying for
 Now she's feeling more alone
 Then she ever has before
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 As weeks went by
 It showed that she was not fine
 They told me, "Son it's time to tell the truth," and
 She broke down and I broke down
 Cause I was tired of lying
 Driving back to her apartment
 For the moment we're alone
 Yeah she's alone
 And I'm alone
 Now I know it
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
 Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
 She's a brick and I'm drownin' slowly
