[Verse] I built a throne from a pizza box A scepter from a busted clock Crowned myself with a paper hat I’m king of this and that [Chorus] Cardboard castles in the rain They fall but I build again Tape and dreams Glue and string I’m the ruler of everything [Verse 2] My moat’s a puddle in the street Dragons made of tangled sheets The wind's my knight It fights for me In my kingdom of debris [Prechorus] Who needs gold Who needs a crown When you’ve got the whole world upside down [Chorus] Cardboard castles in the rain They fall but I build again Tape and dreams Glue and string I’m the ruler of everything [Bridge] A box is a palace if you believe A stick is a sword if you decree Every crack is a secret door To places no one’s been before
