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 ire down 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
