Saw Cinderella in a party dress,
But she was looking for a nightgown.
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands,
He's getting ready for the showdown.
I saw the minute that I turned away,
I got my money on a pawn tonight.
A change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire.
She said she always knew he'd come around.
And the decades disappear
Like sinking ships but we persevere.
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know.
Your mind is poisoned.
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized.
The drawbridge is closing.
....
Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep?
It's such a bitter form of refuge.
Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you.
Is there still magic in the midnight sun,
Or did you leave it back in '61?
In the cadence of a young man's eyes.
Out where the dreams all hide
Post the lyrics in your head
