Oingo Boingo - Cinderella Undercover lyrics

rate me

When I was youngmy mind would always wander away

I couldn't talknever had nothin to say

But now I'm grownnothing much seems to have changed

I think I'm going insane yeahyeahyeahyeah

Is this a fairy taleare you the seven dwarves

Did snow white really die while fighting in the war?

They were the only friends I ever trusted

Now they're scatteredand livin' in the city

Unlisted numbershuh

Cinderella undercover

I saybetter alive than dead

The war is comingbut there's nothing much that we can do

Stuck in a pay-phonebut the operator won't let me through

I close my eyesbut the memories burn in my brain

I think I'm going insane yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah

I heard a rumorthey said it's gone nuclear

I stockpile cigarettesand double bold the door

A sanctuary for all my friends

We'll stay in bed until the world ends

So please don't wake meI gotta get some sleep

Cinderella undercover

I saybetter alive than dead

I think I'm going insaneyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah

Is this a fairy talethis can't be real

There's fighting all aroundthey're shooting in the fields

They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes

Survival is essentialat any cost or any price

The cartoon animals on old mcdonald's farm

Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms

The seven dwarvesha!there's only four alive today

Cinderella's working for the cia

Cinderellathe fairy tale's over

You should knowyou got the scars to prove it

And your skin isn't as soft as it used to

But I don't carecome on you said it baby

Cinderella undercover

I saybetter alive than

Cinderella undercover

I saybetter alive than dead
