Sand castles - like New York and Los Angeles
Sand castles, sand castles
Sand castles, like Boston and New Orleans
Sand castles, sand castles
Ohhohhohhh

Look at all these human beings running wide open
Stacked up on top one another and focused on where they're going
We got yellow cab grid lock and them structures that scrape the sky
Names of the wealthy families all plastered on the side
Gargoyles and angels disturbing symbolism
It's a money making culture clashin' smell of urban livin'
Fire trucks and ambulances creep through the pollution
Whoever needs them, they don't stand a chance cause these folks ain't moving

Sand castles - like New York and Los Angeles
Sand castles, sand castles
Sand castles, like Boston and New Orleans
Sand castles, sand castles
Ohhohhohhh

It's like the quest to see who can get the biggest headstone when they're through
It's stressful, sad and beautiful and like a corner office view
From The top of the tallest, you can see how far the fall is
To the noisy streets below where the peasants like myself are walking
As I was looking up at the modern marvels, these trophies to man's existence
Some wisdom split the confusion and I knew I better listen
And I heard an old man sing a song and he started off with a laugh
He said, let me tell you something son
That's all some folks have

Sand castles - like New York and Los Angeles
Sand castles, sand castles
Sand castles, like Boston and New Orleans
Sand castles, sand castles
Ohhohhohhh

Castles
Castles
Castles
Castles ohhhh

Sand castles - like New York and Los Angeles
Sand castles, sand castles
Sand castles, like Boston and New Orleans
Sand castles, sand castles
Ohhohhohhh
