 If someone told me you'd be here
 whispering these familiar things
 talking to my little pets
 smoking the same old cigarettes
 I would have laughed
I  saw you last in summertime
 You said you hated long goodbyes
 You said there's nothing to explain
 in every life a little rain
 et cetera
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 eiderdown
 in a mist  of mystery
 There's an old  enchanted castle
 and the princess there  is me
 decked out like a Christmas tree
 ****I think you guys can figure out the rest it's the exact same thing. There you go. Enjoy!
 I guess you've had your little joke
 but I have lost my sense of humor
 My medication's wearing off
 or it's just not strong enough
 to cover this
 and then you kiss me like before
 and I find myself wanting more
 and you tell that little lie
 that kept me hypnotized:
 another kiss...
 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 eiderdown
 in a mist of mystery
 There's an old enchanted castle
 and the princess there is me
 decked out like a Christmas tree
 If someone 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...
 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
