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
