Castles

My mother is lonely
My father left early yesterday
My sister is tired
Her lover’s a liar
And I, I am like my mother
But I’m like my father, too
And I, I’ll take their answers
Paint them as something new
My mother is lonely
My father speaks only to himself
My sister’s in danger
Her lover’s a stranger
And I, I’m like my mother
But I’m like my father too
And I, I’ll build you castles
Then I’ll knock them through
What are we without our chains?
I will carry on this name (Oh)
What are we without our chains? (Oh)
You and I are just the same
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah
And I, I’m like my mother
But I’m like my father (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I, I’ll build you castles
Then I’ll knock them through
My mother is lonely
My father left early yesterday (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
