《Castles in the Sand》歌词

[00:00:07] Yeah I've seen you face in magazines

[00:00:10] Yeah I've read all of those press room queens descriptions

[00:00:17] I can't believe the lies they tell

[00:00:21] But truth is not the way to sell subscriptions

[00:00:28] After all the smoke had cleared away

[00:00:35] Did not take me long to find out what you had to say

[00:00:41] This is just a game

[00:00:44] And I'm glad I finally learned to play

[00:00:47] By the rules

[00:00:50] Do they think we're fools

[00:00:54] They put you down behind my back

[00:00:58] Distorting all the honest facts about you

[00:01:05] While searching through your lyric sheets

[00:01:08] For secret meanings too discreet to doubt you

[00:01:15] Isn't it a shame they never heard

[00:01:22] They finally wrote you off as really being too absurd

[00:01:28] While all the time you sacrificed your rhymes

[00:01:32] To find a word they could not see

[00:01:37] Hidden in your melodies

[00:01:41] Like a tree that could bend with the wind

[00:01:47] Like a river that flows around the bend

[00:01:54] Like a dream

[00:01:56] Like a song

[00:01:57] They all cross right or wrong

[00:02:01] They just keep on building castles in the sand

[00:02:16] Then just like you they told me lies

[00:02:21] And offered corporate alibis to change me

[00:02:27] My songs were taken through the mill

[00:02:30] While managers were hired to rearrange me

[00:02:37] They led me to the slaughter like a lamb

[00:02:44] I just kept pretending that I did not give a d**n

[00:02:51] Now this situations gotten too far out of hand

[00:02:57] To be real

[00:03:00] I don't wanna make a deal

[00:03:04] Parasites reach for your heart

[00:03:07] Each one must try do their part to drain you

[00:03:14] You give them your best autograph

[00:03:18] On pictures knowing well they're gonna frame you

[00:03:24] Don't you know it happens every time

[00:03:31] Little did they know I could read between the line

[00:03:37] You told them times were changing

[00:03:40] But they did not heed the signs

[00:03:42] I'm not that green

[00:03:46] Bobby do you know what I mean

[00:03:49] I'm Like a tree that can bend with the wind

[00:03:56] I'm like a river that flows around the bend

[00:04:02] I'm like a dream

[00:04:03] Like a song

[00:04:05] That I've crossed right or wrong

[00:04:08] And I'll just keep on building castles in the sand

[00:04:24] They drove me in their limousines

[00:04:28] My pockets bursting at the seems with money

[00:04:34] They said I could take your place

[00:04:37] By putting makeup on my face like honey

[00:04:45] Now don't you know it chilled me to the bone

[00:04:52] They even had the nerve to ask me if I could re-write like a rolling stone

[00:04:58] That's when I told they the should leave my a*s alone

[00:05:04] Its plan to see

[00:05:07] I just wanted to be free

[00:05:10] Like a tree that can bend with the wind

[00:05:17] Like a river that flows around the bend

[00:05:23] Like a dream

[00:05:25] Like a song

[00:05:26] That I cross right or wrong

[00:05:29] And I'll just keep on building castles in the sand

[00:05:45] And every song I write my friend

[00:05:48] I play it with my band
