A Dustland Fairytale beginning
Or just another white trash county kiss
In '61 long brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome american prince

Blue jean seranade
Moon river what'd you do to me
I dont believe you

Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for her 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, we dont 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 her 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 took 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 wont snow
Out here the bird dont sing
Out here the field dont grow
Out here the bell dont ring
Out here the bell dont ring
Out here the good girls die

Now cinderella dont you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Ah dont you know the kingdoms under seige
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
