Stephin Merritt - Long-Forgotten Fairytale lyrics

Someone told me you'd be here Whispering these familiar things Talking to my little pet Smoking the same old cigarettes I would have laughed I saw you last in summertime You said you hated long goodbyes You said, there's nothing to explain In every life a little rain Etcetera [Chorus] And a long-forgotten fairytale Is in your eyes again And I'm caught inside a dream world Where the colors are too intense And nothing is making sense Theres a floating town of Ire Down In a mist of mystery There's an old enchanted castle And the princess there is me Decked-out like a Christmas tree I guess you've had your little joke But I have lost my sense of humor My medications wearing off For it's just not strong enough To cover this But then you kissed me like before I found myself wanting more And you tell that little lie That kept me hypnotized Another kiss [Chorus] If somebody told me I'd succumb If someone said I'd be so dumb After all the sleepless nights When I turned on all the lights I would have hit them But I have turned The other cheek My voice trembles My knees are weak And you beat me once again And I know what happens then You raise the ante [Chorus]
