A dustland fairytale beginning
Or 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
A blue jean serenade
Moon River what'd you do to me
But I don't believe you
Saw Cinderella in
A party dress but
She was looking for
A night gown
Saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for
The show down
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 poison
Castle's in the sky
Sit stranded vandalized
The drawbridge is closing
Saw Cinderella in
A party dress but
She was looking for
A night gown
I saw the devil
Wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for
The show down
I saw the ending
When they turned the page
I took 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 don'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
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Ah 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
Out where the dreams all hide
