Song Lyrics

A Dustland Fairytale beginning
With just another white trash county kiss
In `61
Long brown hair and foolish eyes

He`d look just like you`d want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
Blue jean serenade
Moon River what`d you do to me
I don`t believe you

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He`s getting ready for the showdown
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a pawn tonight

A change came in disguise of revelation
Set his soul on fire
She said she always knew he`d come around
And the decades disappear
Like sinking ships but we persevere
God gives us hope
But we still fear what we don`t know
Your mind is poison

Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
The drawbridge is closing

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He`s getting ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I threw my money and I ran away

Straight to the valley of the great divide
Out where the dreams all hide
Out where the wind don`t blow
Out here the good girls die
And the sky won`t snow
Out here the bird don`t sing
Out here the field don`t grow
Out here the bell don`t ring
Out here the bell don`t ring

Out here the good girls die

Now Cinderella don`t you go to sleep
It`s such a bitter form of refuge
Well don`t you know the kingdom`s under siege
And everybody needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in `61?
In the cadence of a young man`s eyes
Out where the dreams all hide
