Castle Is Burning Lyrics

The nickels you pick up On the long dirty road On your way to that castle in your mind Won't carry much weight When the voice in your soul Becomes louder then you What if the castle is burning When you finally get it in sight Listen to the voices that matter Don't tell me you've written of yesterday's dreams Bloodsuckers, liars and thieves For a paperback novel Can show you the page But it'll never get naked I might as well burn all your letters I might as well cut off your fingers Listen to the voices that matter Your friends in the rain Been placed in the cage Awaiting your prostitute smile You think you'd be able To scrape off your labels In a year You've said that before They'll tell you it's too late to change They'll promise you things look better Listen to the voices that matter For the nickels you pick up On the long dirty road On your way to that castle in your mind Won't carry much weight When the voice in your soul Becomes louder then you What if the castle is burning When you finally get it in sight I might as well burn all your letters I might as well cut off your fingers Listen to the voices that matter
