Lyrics

[00:07.41] A Dustland Fairytale beginning
[00:10.33]
[00:10.89] Just another white trash county kiss
[00:13.95]
[00:14.51] In '61' long brown hair' foolish eyes
[00:19.63]
[00:23.38] He looks just like you'd want him to
[00:25.68] Some kind of slick chrome American Prince
[00:28.67]
[00:29.98] A blue jean serenade' and moon river'
[00:35.03] what you do to me
[00:37.59]
[00:39.40] I don't believe you
[00:40.92]
[00:44.23] Saw Cinderella in a party dress
[00:47.28]
[00:47.91] But she was looking for a nightgown
[00:50.53]
[00:51.34] I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
[00:54.35]
[00:54.92] He's getting ready for the showdown
[00:57.59]
[00:58.53] I saw the minute that I turned away
[01:01.40]
[01:02.15] I got my money on a palm tonight
[01:05.52]
[01:08.33] Change came in disguise of revelation'
[01:11.45]
[01:12.63] set his soul on fire
[01:15.13] She says she always knew he'd come around
[01:19.44]
[01:22.19] And the decades disappear like sinking ships
[01:26.49] But we persevere' God gives us hope
[01:29.95] But we still fear what we don't know
[01:33.88]
[01:34.63] The mind is poison
[01:36.56]
[01:37.13] Castles in the sky sit stranded' vandalized
[01:41.50]
[01:43.62] Drawbridges closing
[01:45.44]
[01:48.55] Saw Cinderella in a party dress
[01:51.43]
[01:52.23] But she was looking for a nightgown
[01:54.62]
[01:55.49] I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
[01:58.55]
[01:59.24] He's getting ready for the showdown
[02:02.05]
[02:02.92] I saw the ending where they turned the page
[02:06.29] I took my money and I ran away
[02:09.84] Straight to the valley of the great divide
[02:13.09]
[02:14.40] Out where the dreams are high
[02:17.09]
[02:17.96] Out here' the wind don't blow
[02:20.60]
[02:21.34] Out here' the good girls die
[02:23.98]
[02:24.92] And the sky won't snow
[02:27.24]
[02:28.63] Out here' the birds don't sing
[02:31.13]
[02:31.94] Out here' the fields don't grow
[02:34.37]
[02:35.56] Out here' the bell don't ring
[02:38.05]
[02:39.05] Out here' the bell don't ring
[02:41.36]
[02:46.48] Out here' the good girls die
[02:48.41]
[02:49.16] Now Cinderella' don't you go to sleep
[02:51.84]
[02:52.40] It's such a bitter form of refuge
[02:55.02]
[02:56.02] Oh don't you know' the kingdom's under siege
[02:59.21]
[02:59.96] And everybody needs you
[03:02.33]
[03:03.20] Is there still magic in the midnight sun
[03:06.79] Or did you leave it back in 61?
[03:09.49]
[03:10.48] In the cadence of a young man's eyes
[03:14.12] I wouldn't dream so high
[03:17.63]
[03:20.19]
