Cardboard castles

Cardboard castles Lyrics

She was a rainbow once,
So colorful but that was once.
Now that's impossible to see, to see.
With a voice subliminal
It's the only sign she's beautiful.
Here's all that's left of her dignity.
She goes yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Hey, yeah, yeah.

There's a girl in New York City,
Skylines no longer pretty,
Bound for destination anywhere.
She grew up in California,
Big dreams they tend to own you there.
Now she's building cardboard castles in the air.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was a pretty boy,
Rolling cash his only joy.
Now that's impossible to see, to see.
You'll too be one of them (not about this line)
Now the men in suits are avoiding him.
He's lost his credit cards but hey! he's free!

There's a man in New York City,
Skylines no longer pretty,
Bound for destination anywhere.
Had the whole world at his window,
It seems so long ago from there.
Now he's building cardboard castles in the air.
Yeah...

Does anybody know?
Does anybody care?
Over here, over there,
Building cardboard castles in the air.

There's a girl in New York City
Skylines no longer pretty
Bound for destination anywhere.
She grew up in California,
Big dreams they tend to own you there.
Now she's building cardboard castles in the air,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

There's a girl in New York City,
Skylines no longer pretty,
Bound for destination anywhere.
She grew up in California,
Big dreams they tend to own you there.
Now she's building cardboard castles in the air,
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah...
