Lyrics

[Verse 1]

A dustland fairytale beginning

Just another white trash county kiss

In '61

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

[Verse 2]

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 minute that I turned away

I got my money on a pawn tonight

[Verse 3]

A change came in disguise of revelation

Set his soul on fire

She said she always knew he'd come around

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Castles in the sky

Sit stranded vandalized

The drawbridge is closing

[Verse 6]

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 threw my money and I ran away

Straight to the Valley of the Great Divide

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

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 that midnight sun

Or did you leave it back in '61?

In the cadence of a young man's eyes

Out where the dreams all hide
