One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand.
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.
I swam across; I jumped across for you
Oh what a thing to do
'Cos you were all yellow
I drew a line; I drew a line for you
Oh what a thing to do
And it was all yellow.
That green eyes
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start.
Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful
D'you know?
You know I love you so.
Those Christmas lights,
Light up the streets,
Maybe they'll bring her back to me.
Then all my troubles will be gone,
Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on!
