Castles Made of Sand Lyrics - Red Hot Chili Peppers

1 Down the street you can hear her scream, "You're a disgrace"

2 As she slams the door in his drunken face

3 And now he stands outside

4 And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool

5 He cries, "Oh girl, you must be mad

6 What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"

7 Against the door he leans and starts a scene

8 And his tears fall and burn the garden green

9 And so castles made of sand

10 Fall in the sea eventually

11 There's a little Indian brave who before he was ten

12 Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends

13 And he built a dream that when he grew up

14 He would be a fearless warrior Indian chief

15 Many moons passed and the dream grew strong until tomorrow

16 He would sing his first war song

17 And fight his first battle but something went wrong

18 Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

19 And so castles made of sand

20 Melts into the sea eventually

21 There was a young girl whose heart was a frown

22 Because she was crippled for life and couldn't speak a sound

23 And she wished and prayed she would stop living

24 So she decided to die

25 She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore

26 And to her legs she smiled, "You won't hurt me no more"

27 But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say

28 "Look, a golden winged ship is passing my way"

29 And it really didn't have to stop

30 It just kept on going

31 And so castles made of sand

32 Slips into the sea eventually
