Long-Forgotten Fairytale

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 ~ chorus ~ 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 ~ end chorus ~ 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 ~ chorus ~ 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 ~ chorus ~
