Long-Forgotten Fairytale

If 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

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 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

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 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

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
