[Verse 1:]
|
It was just another show
|
There in the front row sat a girl
|
Young and fair with a stare through her hair
|
Of old fashioned curls
|
|
But through the spectacle in all of its grandeur
|
I watched her from the stage
|
She never cracked a smile
|
Just held her that cold warning gaze
|
As if to say...
|
|
[Chorus 1:]
|
Sing me another song Cinderella's gone
|
And she's not coming back so long
|
Let her go on, she's gone
|
Bring me another day
|
Then send me along my merry way
|
Illusions for the King
|
Don't work on me at all
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
When I saw her in that hall
|
Her image burned a hole in my mind
|
I tried so hard to find her
|
But from everyone to whom she was described
|
I was told she had long ago died
|
|
But when the crowd rose
|
And when the curtains closed
|
She was sitting there alone
|
And oh, I was terrified
|
When she said...
|
|
[Chorus 2:]
|
Sing me another song Cinderella's gone
|
And she's not coming back so long
|
Let her go on, go on
|
She's gone
|
Bring me another day
|
Then send me along my merry way
|
Illusions for the King
|
Don't work on me at all
|
|
[Verse 3:]
|
Now here in my cage
|
I can see how we've all bought the lie
|
A promise of solace
|
That only exists in our minds
|
For love is just apathy
|
Disguised as a stranger in need
|
And now the ghost of that woman
|
Is the mother of the anger in me
|
