Popsicle Stick House Lyrics

It's the last time that I see my grandpa

We're at a Denny's in Old San Juan

Squeaky red booth, unfriendly smiles

He and dad speak of things come and gone

His latest

Sits by his side

And she's unfazed

By the question of her morals

His face

Never turns to mine

Ice cream sundae

He tries to rest on his laurels

Ooh who are you?

Not what the movies told me

You should do

Ooh who are you?

Who are you?

I get a taste of the feeling

Squeezed in the backseat in Guayaquil

I try to chase free-wheeling days

Of "meet all your primos and tíos"

But I choke on the mystery of syntax

At least that's the headline in my memory

I know that's just the drama kid in me talking

I ain't spitting facts

I just don't want nothing said for me

Ooh who are you?

Not what the movies told me you Should do

Ooh who are you?

Who are you?

Ooh who are you?

Not what the movies told me you

Who screwed up the blueprint?

I'll take it from here

Gonna raise this roof

I'll use anything that'll do

Use popsicles and Elmer's glue

Use all my friends and lovers too

To build it right back up into

The biggest house you've ever seen

Bigger than what fell down when I was seventeen

It's held up with my mama's beaming

smile and all my father's dreams

And don't forget Amanda's shine

Keep breaking it apart that's fine

I'll remake it every fucking time

I'm staking it right here it's mine

I'll use anything that'll do

Use popsicles and Elmer's glue

Use all my friends and lovers too

To build it right back up into
