The Dustland Fairytale begins
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 you do to me.
I don´t believe you.

Saw Cinderella in a party dress, 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.

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, we don´t know.

Your mind is poisoned.
Castles in the sky, sit stranded, vandalized.
The drawbridge is closing.

Saw Cinderella in a party dress, 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 where they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away.
Sent to the valley of the great divide
Out where the dreams all hide.
Out where the wind don´t blow,
Out where the good girls die.
And the sky moves slow
I hear the bird don´t sing
I hear the field don´t blow
I hear the bell don´t ring
I hear 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.
Why don´t you know the kingdoms under siege and everyone 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
