Long-Forgotten Fairytale Lyrics

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 ~
