The Magnetic Fields - Long-Forgotten Fairytale lyrics

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 goodbyes You said there's nothing to explain in every life a little rain et cetera 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 eiderdown 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 medication's wearing off or it's just not strong enough to cover this and then you kiss me like before and I find myself wanting more and you tell that little lie that kept me hypnotized: another kiss... 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 eiderdown in a mist of mystery There's an old enchanted castle and the princess there is me decked out like a Christmas tree If someone 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... 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
