Long-Forgotten Fairytale Lyrics

Artist: The Magnetic Fields
Album: 69 Love Songs, Pt. 2

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, €œThere€™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 ~
