A dustland fairytale beginning, just another white trash county kiss
In Sixty One, long brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him to, some kind of slick chrome American prince
/E
A blue jean serenade, moon river what you do to me
But I don't believe you
Chorus:
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 palm tonight
The change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire
She says she always knew he'd come around
And the decades disappear like sinking ships that we persevere
God gives us hope, but we still fear, we don't know, the mind is poison
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalised
The drawbridge is closing
Chorus:
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 bird don't sing, out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring, out here the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die
Chorus:
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 Sixty One
In the cadence of a young man's eyes, and where the dreams roll high
