The Magnetic Fields - I've Run Away To Join The Faires lyrics

rate me

I’ve run away to join the fairies

This mortal world has lost its charms

I’ll be a flower for their garden

Never to hold you in my arms

They will enchance me and enslave me

And make of me their fool for fun

Upon my head they’ll place an ass head

More or less as you’ve always done

I loved you like I was your baby

Although you couldn’t even fly

And though you held no eldritch secrets

All too enthralled to you was I

In yonder forest grows a toadstool

To make the mind of man grow small

They will mistake me for their changeling

I wasn’t human after all
