Red Hot Chili Peppers - Castles Made of Sand lyrics
[Red Hot Chili Peppers - Castles Made of Sand lyrics]
Down the street, you can hear her scream
"You're a disgrace!"
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now, he stands outside
All the neighbors start to gossip and drool
He cries, "Oh girl, you must be mad
What happened to the sweet love
You and me had?" against the door, he leans
And starts a scene
But his tears fall, burn, and gard-all green
And some castle made of sand
Fall in the sea eventually
An Indian brave, who before he was ten
Played war games in the woods
With his Indian friends
And he built a dream, that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior, Indian Chief
Many moons passed, and more
The dream grew strong until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song
Fight his first battle
But somethin' went wrong
Surprise attack killed him in
His sleep that night
And some castle made of sand
Melts into the sea eventually
Take it, Johnny
There was a young girl who
Was heart with a frown
She was crippled for life
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed
She could stop livin' so she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the
Edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled
"You won't hurt me no more" but then
A sight she'd never seen made
Her jump and say
"Look a golden-winged ship is passin' my way"
But it really didn't have to stop
It just kept on goin'
And some castles made of sand
Slips into the sea, eventually
"You're a disgrace!"
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now, he stands outside
All the neighbors start to gossip and drool
He cries, "Oh girl, you must be mad
What happened to the sweet love
You and me had?" against the door, he leans
And starts a scene
But his tears fall, burn, and gard-all green
And some castle made of sand
Fall in the sea eventually
An Indian brave, who before he was ten
Played war games in the woods
With his Indian friends
And he built a dream, that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior, Indian Chief
Many moons passed, and more
The dream grew strong until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song
Fight his first battle
But somethin' went wrong
Surprise attack killed him in
His sleep that night
And some castle made of sand
Melts into the sea eventually
Take it, Johnny
There was a young girl who
Was heart with a frown
She was crippled for life
And she couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed
She could stop livin' so she decided to die
She drew her wheelchair to the
Edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled
"You won't hurt me no more" but then
A sight she'd never seen made
Her jump and say
"Look a golden-winged ship is passin' my way"
But it really didn't have to stop
It just kept on goin'
And some castles made of sand
Slips into the sea, eventually
