Draw a Crowd Songtext
von Ben Folds Five

(Damn!)

I ordered something, it took a while
This morning ′something' was on my doorstep
What′s this I'm holding? Time capsule order
'Cause I′m a brand new man and I don′t think I want it
I don't think I want it
A row of flags hanging behind me
A garden of mics and questions and photo-flashes blind me
And I′m so high, I can't recall my statements
I only know I made ′em because my face vibrated

(Is it all in my mind?) I could've sworn I saw it
(I thought I was fine) just fine is what I call it

Oh-oh, if you′re feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on the wall
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small, and you can′t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on the wall


I was ′gruntled when it was just feet on gravel
To have come apart, I must have once been raveled
Now when pretty phrases don't mean nothing
And I wanna sell ′em, I sing the line again

So smooth you can hear the beard
So smooth you can hear the beard
Three times is poetry, so smooth you can hear the beard

Oh-oh, if you're feeling small, and you can′t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on the wall
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small, and you can′t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on the wall
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw

I′m just saying, I-I-I-I′m just saying
Why does saying that "I'm just saying"
Lend any weight to what I′m saying?

Oh, it's come back again, I can′t ignore it
I'm a brand new man, but I′m still payin' for it


Oh-oh, if you're feeling small, and you can′t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on the wall
Oh-oh, if you′re feeling small, and you can't draw a crowd
Draw dicks on the wall
If you can′t draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall
If you can't draw a crowd, draw dicks on the wall

And if you can′t draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw

I only wanted to be Stevie Wonder
But I got to settle for this vanilla thunder
(If you can't draw a crowd) This vanilla thunder
(If you can′t draw a crowd) This vanilla thunder
(If you can't draw a crowd) Taste my vanilla thunder
(If you can't draw a crowd, if you′re feeling small)
