Who cares if it's building castles in the air?
I'd rather live there than here.
Atleast I'd be happy and could dream.
Here is like living at gunpoint:
I don't feel safe and hate it all.
If you left me alone, maybe I'd do better,
But I really don't care.
I hear the short tunes on the radio;
That's all I can really take;
I gotta get out of this place,
I just wish I knew how.
My mind is falling asleep as you talk,
Mumbling on about some foreign concept;
I just can't pay attention.
The days go by so quickly
I can't keep track.
This society leaves no room for creativity;
Maybe in another country I'd do better:
Maybe I'd be more appreciated;
A place where artists are respected.
Maybe I'll your Europe:
Spend a week in Prague;
I'd see the sights and steal the coins.
I could settle down someday.
Live in a castle in Scotland,
Or a chateau in France.
I could go to places where no one
Can understand a word I say!
That'd be fun for a while,
But soon I'd get bored;
Maybe come back to you.
Maybe I'll go broke and beg in the streets of Toronto-
That's a beautiful city, you know.
Safer than staying here.
I could keep my sanity in tact
(That's more than I can say for you).
I'm gonna go now.
Maybe I'll do what I said,
Maybe I'll stick around for awhile.
I don't care;
I'll build castles in the air.
