lyrics

We'd build trick corridors,
With ever changing walls within,
Where every door would lead,
You right back to the front again.

And we'd build quite the lobby,
With trap doors leading to the pits.
And dungeons leading to dungeons,
Oh make them wish they threw sand instead of bricks.

They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!
They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!
They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!

We'd have our very own place,
Where we could hide in safety's clench.
And their'd be no way they could find,
Without falling to our trench.

We'll have a way to stand our ground,
Baby maybe we've been doing it right all along.
If they want to hate the things we do,
We'll love ourselves, let them think we're wrong.

They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!
They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!
They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!

In the deep of winters,
The caverns will grow colder by night.
But we'll be set up cosy and warm,
By the fire's flickering light.

Incandescence will give the essence,
That we are living like the old days.
And finding our own ways,
In these castles we made.

They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!
They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!
They'd toss us bricks,
And we'd build castles,
They'd toss us bricks,
Build ourselves into the clouds!
