The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale Lyrics

A dustland fairytale begining
Just another white trash
County kiss
Sixty one
Long Brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him too
a kind of slick chrome American prince
A blue jean serenade
The Moon river what'd you do to me
But I don't believe you


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 show down
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a pond tonight


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 we persevere God gives us hope
But we still fear
We don't know
The mind is poison
castles in the sky
Sit stranded, vandalized
The draw bridge is closing


Saw Cinderella in a party dress but
She was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
he'ss getting ready for the show down
I saw the ending were they turned the page
I threw my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide


And where the dreams roll high
And where the wind dont blow
Out here the good girls die
And the sky won't snow
Out here the bird don't sing
Out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die


Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Ah, 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 sixty-one?
In the cadence in the young man's eyes
And where the dreams roll high
