The Magnetic Fields - Long-forgotten Fairytale Lyrics




If someone told me you'd be here whispering these familiar things
talking to my little pets smoking the same old cigarettes
I would have laughed I saw you last in springtime
You said you hated long goodbyes You said there's nothing to explain
in every life a little rain et cetera 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 eiderdown in a mist of mystery There's an old enchanted castle
and the princess there is me decked out like a Christmas tree
I guess you've had your little joke but I have lost my sense of humor
My medication's wearing off or it's just not strong enough to cover this
and then you kiss me like before and I find myself wanting more
and you tell that little lie that kept me hypnotized: another kiss...
If someone 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...
