The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale lyrics

rate me

<BR>

The Dustland Fairytale begins <br>

With just another white trash county kiss in '61. <br>

Long brown hair, and foolish eyes. <br>

He'd look just like you'd want him to <br>

Some kind of slick chrome American prince. <br>

<br>

Blue Jean serenade<br>

Moon river what you do to me. <br>

I don't believe you.<br>

<br>

Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown.<br>

I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.<br>

I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a pawn tonight.<br>

<br>

Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire.<br>

She said she always knew he'd come around. <br>

And the decades disappear<br>

Like sinking ships but we persevere.<br>

God gives us hope but we still fear, we don't know.<br>

<br>

Your mind is poisoned.<br>

Castles in the sky, sit stranded, vandalized. <br>

The drawbridge is closing.<br>

<br>

Saw Cinderella in a party dress, she was looking for a nightgown. <br>

I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, he's getting ready for the showdown.<br>

I saw the ending where they turned the page, I threw my money and I ran away. <br>

Sent to the valley of the great divide<br>

Out where the dreams all hide.<br>

Out where the wind don't blow, <br>

Out where the good girls die.<br>

And the sky moves slow <br>

I hear the bird don't sing <br>

I hear the field don't blow <br>

I hear the bell don't ring <br>

I hear the bell don't ring<br>

Out here the good girls die<br>

Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge.<br>

Why don't you know the kingdoms under siege and everyone needs you<br>

Is there still magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave it back in '61? <br>

In the cadence of a young man's eyes.<br>

Out where the dreams all hide<br>

<BR><BR>
