Even as a little girl who's playing out of school,
|
You wanted everyone to know your name.
|
Makin' sure you had the best
|
Just to stand out from the rest
|
And nothing any less could be the same.
|
|
People all around you could always be replaced,
|
So those you didn't need were pushed aside.
|
You would use them for a while
|
'Till their face went out of style.
|
Then say: "Goodbye, and thank you for the ride!".
|
|
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows, building castles in the sky,
|
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows, make the end before you die.
|
Not for you a poor man's son,
|
Your dreams of fortune have begun
|
And once you're off the ground, you have to fly.
|
|
Now the girl with everything is feeling insecure,
|
Your smile is never all that it appears.
|
And the lady debonair
|
Who would never have a care
|
Fights harder every day to hide the tears.
|
|
Time goes by, the spotlight fades,
|
You're standing in the dark.
|
A mystic left with no more spells to weave.
|
Like a lazy afternoon
|
That has passed you by too soon,
|
And all the things you had were make believe.
|
|
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows, building castles in the sky,
|
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows, make the end before you die.
|
Not for you a poor man's son,
|
Your dreams of fortune have begun,
|
And once you're off the ground, you have to fly.
|
|
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows, building castles in the sky.
|
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows, make the end before you die.
|
Not for you a poor man's son,
|
Your dreams of fortune have begun,
|
And once you're off the ground,
|
Once you're off the ground,
|
Once you're off the ground, you have to fly.
|
And once you're off the ground, you have to fly.
