Diana Degarmo – Cardboard Castles lyrics

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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, yeah yeah

(chorus # 1)
There's a girl in new york city
Skyline's no longer pretty
Bound for destination anyhwere
She grew up in California
Big dreams they tend to own you there
Now she's building Cardboard Castles in the

Air, yeah, yeah, yeah

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 # 2)
There's a man in New York City
Skylines 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,
yeah

Does anybody know?
Does anybody care?
Over here,
Over there
Building CardBoard Castles in the air

There's a girl in New York City
Skylines no longer pretty
Bound for destination anywhere

(Repeat Chorus Number one)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh!
So long ago
Building cardboard castles in the air
