Even as a little girl was playing out of school
You wanted everyone to know your name
Making sure you had the best
Just to stand out from the rest
And nothing in a list 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 the face went out of style
And said goodbye and thank you for the ride
Gray and jade, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Playing cards in the sky
Gray and jade, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Not for you, a poor mad son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
You have to fly
The day will never be finished
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
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 wield
Like a lazy afternoon that has passed you by too soon
And all the things you have are making me
Pain, Jane, chasing rainbows, building castles in the sky
Pain, Jane, chasing rainbows, make the end before you die
Not for you, a poor mad son, your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
You have to go home
To fly
To fly
To fly
To fly
To fly
To fly
To fly
To fly
to fly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Plane Jane, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Plane Jane, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Not for you, oh poor man's son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
Oh, once you're off the ground
Once you're off the ground
You have to fly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I want you on the ground
You have to fly
You have to fly
