One By One

You make that green
You're pulling over in your
Yellow limousine
You've got your face in all the
Fancy magazines
On the silver screen
Only 23
You're living the dream
But you've got it all wrong
You're building castles out of
Silly little songs
You take the bricks and stack them
You pile them way up high
Build them up to the sky
But that's way too high
One by one by one
They come tumbling down
By one by one
Down down to the ground
You're the queen of the world
And everybody says you're
Such a pretty girl
You run your fingers through your
Perfect little curls
Your expensive pearls
Such a pretty girl
The queen of the world
You make a scene cos you don't
Like your french cuisine
Throw a tantrum like a
Fussy little drama queen
And you're so so mean
You yell and you scream
Cos you make that green
But you're building castles out of lies
And it won't be too long before
You kiss them goodbye
One by one by one
They come tumbling down
By one by one
Down down to the ground
By one by one they come tumbling
Come tumbling
Come tumbling
Brick by brick by brick
They come tumbling down
By brick, by brick
Down down to the ground
By one by one by one by
By one by
By one they fall
You know you're only a man
I bet you can't understand
Why your castles won't stand
Well their made out of sand
I hope you like your
Sandcastle. Your little sandcastle
I love your sand castle
Love your sand castle
You're no legend
You're no revolutionary
You're no revelation
I hope you like your
Sand castle
Your little sandcastle
I love your sandcastle
Love your sandcastle
It's a little too loud
But you can hear it if you
Step away from the crowd
You've got to pay attention
Listen up for the sound
They'll be hitting the ground
Real soon
One by one by one
They come tumbling down
By one by one
One by one by one
They come tumbling down
By one by one
Down down to the ground
By one by one they come tumbling
Come tumbling
Come tumbling
Brick by brick by brick
They come tumbling down
By brick, by brick
Down down to the ground
By one by one by one by
By one by
By one they fall
Keep your feet on the ground
Keep your head out the clouds
Listen up for the sound
They'll be hitting the ground
Real soon
