Castles Made of Sand (2006 Remaster) - Red Hot Chili Peppers

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 neighbours 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 and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand

Fall in the sea eventually

Indian brave who before he was ten

Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends

And built a dream that when he grew up

He would be a fearless warrior Indian chief

Many moons passed and the dream grew strong until tomorrow

He would sing his first war song

Fight his first battle but something went wrong

Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand

Fall into the sea eventually

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown

She was crippled for life

And she couldn't speak a sound

And she wished and prayed she could stop living

So she decided to die

She drew her wheel chair 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 passing my way

But it really didn't have to stop

It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand

Slips into the sea eventually
