lyrics

Brick by brick, we built our monument
It's sailing through the clouds
Its shadow looming overhead
Inch by inch, we played our politics
The king and queen of nothing
Built a castle nonetheless

It seemed like such a good idea
To leave the ground behind
Pursuit of happinesses
So up her hair I'll climb
A secret garden made for us
Don't need the world below
Or so I told myself until
I found myself alone

We built a
Castle in the sky
Now the halls are cold and vacant
Castle in the sky
Crumbling ruins mixed with rain, and
I can't remember why
I gave all my time and patience building
Castles in the sky
Your apathy's contagious

There's not much reason
No there's not much fact
The castle's under siege
From an internal attack

It seemed like such a good idea
To leave the ground behind
Pursuit of happinesses
So up her hair I'll climb

Put my feet back on the ground

Castle in the sky
Now the halls are cold and vacant
Castle in the sky
Crumbling ruins mixed with rain, and
I can't remember why
I gave all my time and patience building
Castles in the sky
Your apathy's contagious
Castle in the sky
So beautiful and broken
Castle in the sky
We're never to return, and
I can't remember why
I gave all my time and patience building
Castles in the sky
If you jump, I'll jump after you

We built a
Castle in the sky
Now the halls are cold and vacant
Castle in the sky
Crumbling ruins mixed with rain, and
I can't remember why
I gave all my time and patience building
Castles in the sky
Your apathy's contagious
Castle in the sky
So beautiful and broken
Castle in the sky
We're never to return, and
I can't remember why
I gave all my time and patience building
Castles in the sky
When you jumped, I jumped after you
