A Dustland Fairytale
A Dustland Fairytale beginningJust another white trash county kissIn '61, long brown hair, foolish eyesHe looks just like you'd want him toSome kind of slick chrome American PrinceA bluejean serenade, and moon river, what you do to meI don't believe youSaw Cinderella in a party dressBut she was looking for a nightgownI saw the devil wrapping up his handsHe's getting ready for the showdownI saw the minute that I turned awayI got my money on a palm tonightChange came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fireShe says she always knew he'd come aroundAnd the decades disappear like sinking shipsBut we persevere, God gives us hopeBut we still fear what we don't knowThe mind is poisonCastles in the sky sit stranded, vandalizedDrawbridges closingSongtexteSaw Cinderella in a party dressBut she was looking for a nightgownI saw the devil wrapping up his handsHe's getting ready for the showdownI saw the ending where they turned the pageI took my money and I ran awayStraight to the valley of the great divideOut where the dreams are highOut here, the wind don't blowOut here, the good girls dieAnd the sky won't snowOut here, the birds don't singOut here, the fields don't growOut here, the bell don't ringOut here, the bell don't ringOut here, the good girls dieNow Cinderella, don't you go to sleepIt's such a bitter form of refugeOh don't you know, the kingdom's under siegeAnd everybody needs youIs there still magic in the midnight sunOr did you leave it back in 61?In the cadence of a young man's eyesI wouldn't dream so high
