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 ~
