Ben Folds Five - Draw A Crowd [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
(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 hangin behind me
With guarded up mics and questions, and photo-flashes blind me
And I’m so high, I can’t recall my statements
I only know I made them, 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

[Hook]
Oh-oh if you’re feeling small, and you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
Oh-oh if you’re feeling small, and you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall

[Verse 2]
I was puzzled when it was just feet on gravel
To have come apart, I must have once been raveled
Now when pretty phrases, it 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
(hear the beard)
Three times is poetry
So smooth you can hear the beard

[Hook]
Oh-oh if you’re feeling small, and you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
Oh-oh if you’re feeling small, and you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
If you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall

[Bridge]
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’d you say it, that I’m just saying
But many wait, 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

[Hook]
Oh-oh if you’re feeling small, and you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
Oh-oh if you’re feeling small, and you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
If you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall
If you can’t draw a crowd
Draw dicks on a wall

[Bridge]
And if you can’t draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw

[Outro]
I only wanted to be Stevie Wonder
But I got to settle for this vanilla thunder
(If you can’t draw a crowd)
Oh this vanilla thunder
(If you can’t draw a crowd)
Oh this vanilla thunder
(If you can’t draw a crowd)
Taste my vanilla thunder
(If you feeling small)
