Red Hot Chili Peppers — Castles Made of Sand

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] And some castle made of sand Fall in the sea eventually [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] And some castle made of sand Melts into the sea eventually Take it, Johnny [Guitar Solo 1:49-2:02] [Verse 3] 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' [Chorus 3] And some castles made of sand Slips into the sea, eventually
