Lyrics Castle Down a Dirt Road - The Magnetic Fields

Castle Down a Dirt Road

Well, we failed in all the normal ways of doing things
Ways that wouldn’t make our parents disown us
All those chemistry degrees just left us rueing things
So we played the numbers, fates, dice and thrown us
In a castle down a dirt road
Where the lighting flowed
We were thinking of ways to make things explode
In a castle down a dirt road
Certain technicals prevented us from living there
Such that what our parents thought was rendered aloof
Our new center problem centered on conceiving there
Ah, but worse was how to find the offspring cute
In a castle down a dirt road
Where we dreamed in code
There was mass destruction in every newt and toad
In a castle down a dirt road
In a castle down a dirt road
Where a strange wind blowed
One flash of light and then strange things growed
In a castle down a dirt road
