Artist/Band: The Magnetic Fields
Lyrics for Song: Long-Forgotten Fairytale
Lyrics for Album: 69 Love Songs Pt. 2 [1999]



If someone told me you'd be here

Whispering these familiar things

Talking to my little pets, smoking the same old cigarettes

,I would have laughed



I saw you last in summertime

You said you hated long goodby-y-yes

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



There's 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

~ end chorus ~



I guess you've had your little joke

But I have lost my sense of hu-u-mor

My medication's wearing off, for it's just not strong enough

,to cover this.



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 ~
