Lyrics
Ivory Castles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Aren't all the ivory castles
Worth all of the hassles?
One incurs when he blows his mind
Aren't all the rainbow colors
Worth all the rain?
Aren't the fine sensations
worth all the pain?
If life seems to be a drag
Keep your spirits high
and try to quit relying
On the outside world
To bring you joy
You can't command them
To want anything but wealth
Don't try and understand them
'Till you understand yourself
No greed and hated (rule?) today
I feel it right now
Going up and coming down
Colors all around
And I thrive
Now all my ivory castles
Were surely worth the hassles
And I'm glad
That I blew my mind
I've learned to make my pleasures
Things that I can find
I've learned to take my treasures
And store them in my mind
And happiness is everything
