I've been searching for my dream A hundred times today I build them up, you knock them down Like they were made of clay Then the tide rushes in and washes my castles away Then I'm really not so sure which side of the bed I should lay I should lay-ay-ay-ay You keep looking for someone To tell your troubles to I'll sit down and lend an ear Yet, I'll hear nothing new Then the tide rushes in and washes my castles away Then I'm really not so sure which side of the bed I should lay I should lay-ay-ay-ay The tide rushes in and washes my castles away Then I'm really not so sure which side of the bed I should lay I should lay-ay-ay-ay Blackbird sitting in a tree Observing what's below Acorns falling to the ground He'll stay and watch them grow

The wheelbarrow's fallen look at my hands They've found some surplus cheaper hands Rubbing palms and pick and choose Who will they choose? Here is the news Look at that building, look at this man Haloed and whitewashed gone to find a cheaper hand He'll offer a pound, offer a pound Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go The compass points the workers home Pay for your freedom, find another gate Guilt by associate, the rushes wilted a long time ago Guilty as you go Stay off that highway, word is it's not so safe Grasses that hide the greenback The amber waves of gain again The amber waves of gain Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go The compass points the workers home Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go Green grow the rushes go

You're still a maybe So could you think about it rationally Just for me? I'll let you sleep on it and call me in the morning Oh baby, you know it's hard to find someone like you Think with your heart like you always do You can take your time, I promise it's fine Just be sure it's what you want and you've made up your mind I promise it's not the way that you think It's progress, would you agree? (Oh-oh-oh) Problem is I'm still asleep at the wheel But you're responsible, you're so responsible You know, you know me so well You know that all I ever think about myself Who knows what I want? It's never what I need And baby, you can see right through me (See right through me, see right through me) I promise it's not the way that you think It's progress, would you agree? (Oh-oh-oh) Problem is I'm still asleep at the wheel But you're responsible, you're so responsible My piece of mind, one of a kind Save it for when you have some kids and you've got no more time I think it hurts, I'm outta words But what the hell do I know? I'm not driving 'til it's light out Try to stop me now I'm fuckin' on one, ooh (on one) Out of control, but I won't let you out of my sight now I promise it's not the way that you think So let it rest and let's have a drink The truth is, I love the way that you feel 'Cause you're responsible, you're so responsible I promise it's not the way that you think It's progress, would you agree? (Oh-oh-oh) Problem is I'm still asleep at the wheel But you're responsible, you're so responsible I promise it's not the way that you think So let it rest and let's have a drink The truth is, I love the way that you feel 'Cause you're responsible, you're so responsible
