Cardboard Castles

[Verse 1:]
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
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
There's a girl in New York City
Skyline's 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

[Verse 2:]
He was a pretty boy
Rolling cash his only joy
Now that's impossible to see
To see

Used to be one of them
Now the men in suits are avoiding him
He's lost his credit cards
But hey, he's free

[Chorus:]
There's a man in New York City
Skyline's 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

[Bridge:]
Does anybody know?
Does anybody care?
Over here
Over there
Building cardboard castles in the air

[Chorus:]
There's a girl in New York City
Skyline's 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

There's a girl in New York City
Skyline's 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
Oh, so long ago
