A Dustland Fairytale

A dustland fairytale beginning
 Or just another white trash county kiss
 In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes
 He'd looks just like you'd want him to
 Some kind of slick chrome American Prince
 A blue jean serenade and Moon river, what'd you do to me?
 I don't believe you
 Saw Cinderella in a party dress
 But she was looking for a 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 what we don't know
 The mind is poisoned
 Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized
 The drawbridge is closing
 Saw Cinderella in a party dress
 But she was looking for a 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 threw 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 won't snow
 Out here the birds don't sing
 Out here the fields don't grow
 Out here the bell don't ring
 Out here the bell don't ring
 ♪
 Out here the good girls die
 Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep?
 It's such a bitter form of refuge
 Oh, don't you know, the kingdom's under siege
 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
