Draw A Crowd Lyrics
(Damn)
I ordered something; it took a while
This morning something was on my doorstep
What's this I'm holding?
Time capsule owner. '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
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.
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.
I was puzzled 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 my line again
So smooth you can hear the beard,
So smooth you can hear the beard,
(Hear the beard)
Three times it's 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 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.
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw.
I'm just saying.
I-I-I'm just saying
Why does saying that I'm just saying
Lend any weight to what I'm saying?
Always come back again. I can't ignore it.
I'm a brand new man, but I'm still ṗaying for it.
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.
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)
This vanilla thunder
If you're feeling small.
I ordered something; it took a while
This morning something was on my doorstep
What's this I'm holding?
Time capsule owner. 'Cause I'm a brand new man,
And I don't think I want it.
I don't think I want it.
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.
I could've sworn I saw it.
I thought I was fine,
Just fine is what I call it.
Draw dicks on a wall.
Oh-oh, if you're feeling small and you can't draw a crowd,
Draw dicks on a wall.
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 my line again
So smooth you can hear the beard,
So smooth you can hear the beard,
(Hear the beard)
Three times it's poetry,
So smooth you can hear the beard.
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.
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw.
I-I-I'm just saying
Why does saying that I'm just saying
Lend any weight to what I'm saying?
Always come back again. I can't ignore it.
I'm a brand new man, but I'm still ṗaying for it.
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.
And if you can't draw a crowd, settle for what you can draw.
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)
This vanilla thunder
If you're feeling small.

These are so wrong it's amazing. I submitted an edit, hopefully it goes through soon.
Yeah, this same set of mostly garbled lyrics also appears on azlyrics. What a mess. BF5's latest album has no lyrics included, so the lyrics seem to be whatever anyone thinks they are. But the real lyrics (closest realistic effort is on thesuburbs.org.uk, a Ben Folds fan site from England which has the most accurate BF and BF5 lyrics anywhere) are about the following: in general if you aren't successful, you end up doing anything to get attention, and in particular Ben's making fun of his own efforts to get attention and of his own claim to fame. After all, although many people love Ben and his songs (present company included), many other people couldn't care less about him (he's not danceable enough, he's too white -- vanilla thunder!! -- too literary/intellectual, etc.).
