Long-Forgotten Fairytale

Someone told me you'd be here

Whispering these familiar things

Talking to my little pet, smoking the same old cigarettes

I would have laughed

I saw you last in summertime

You said you hated long goodby-y-yes

You said, "there's nothing to explain, in every life a little rain"

Etcetera

Chorus

And a long-forgotten fairytale is in your eyes again

And i'm caught inside a dream world where the colors are too intense

And nothing is making sense

There's a floating town of ire down in a mist of mystery

There's an old enchanted castle and the princess there is me

Decked-out like a christmas tree

End chorus

I guess you've had your little joke

But i have lost my sense of hu-u-mor

My medication's wearing off, for it's just not strong enough

To cover this.

Then you kissed me like before

I found myself wanting more

And you tell that little lie that kept me hypnotized

Another kiss

Chorus

If somebody told me i'd succumb

If someone said i'd be so dumb

After all the sleepless nights, when i turned on all the lights

I would have hit them

But i have turned the other cheek

My voice trembles, my knees are weak

And you beat me once again

And i know what happens then

You raise the ante

Chorus
