Cinderella Undercover - 1988 Boingo Alive Version

When I was young, my mind would always wander away
 I couldn't talk, never had nothin to say
 But now I'm grown, nothing much seems to have changed
 I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Is this a fairy tale, are you the seven dwarves
 Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war?
 They were the only friends I ever trusted
 Now they're scattered, and livin' in the city
 Unlisted numbers, Huh
 Cinderella undercover
 I say, better alive than dead
 The war is coming, but there's nothing much that we can do
 Stuck in a pay-phone, but the operator won't let me through
 I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain
 I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 I heard a rumor, they said it's gone nuclear
 I stockpile cigarettes, and double bold the door
 A sanctuary for all my friends
 We'll stay in bed until the world ends
 So please don't wake me, I gotta get some sleep
 Cinderella Undercover
 I say, better alive than dead
 I think I'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Is this a fairy tale, this can't be real
 There's fighting all around, they're shooting in the fields
 They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes
 Survival is essential, at any cost or any price
 The cartoon animals on Old McDonald's farm
 Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms
 The seven dwarves, HA!, there's only four alive today
 Cinderella's working for the CIA
 Cinderella, the fairy tale's over
 You should know, you got the scars to prove it
 And your skin isn't as soft as it used to
 But I don't care, come on you said it baby
 Cinderella undercover
 I say, better alive than
 Cinderella undercover
 I say, better alive than dead
