|
There's a rock and a field and a dirty sky. |
|
I'm still as corpse, |
|
I'm content as a bride, |
|
Thoughts of you and those flyin' shoes |
|
All around me. |
|
One wrong step and it's a long way down |
|
So I triple check the hand holds, stand on firmer ground, |
|
But it's not so easy when the whole mountains |
|
Coming down on you. |
|
So we wait for the morning when we'll stumble on the truth. |
|
Probably fail to recognize it, as we're digging at its roots, |
|
The sorrow and the anger that we've sown |
|
In the fields all around us. |
|
Hey little princess, hey little pea, |
|
Come down from your tower and dance with me. |
|
Yah you're the fairest one in the land. |
|
Try on this glass slipper and give me your hand. |
|
There's a rock and a field and a collapsing sky. |
|
I'm precious as a snowman, fragile as a lie, |
|
Thoughts of you and those flyin' shoes |
|
All around me. |
|
I'm afraid of the anger of the hard twisted heart |
|
That beats in the chests of those that are caught |
|
In the ruins of the lives of those |
|
All around them. |
|
I'm sick of the blood and |
|
I'm sick of the bleeding, |
|
The effort it takes just to keep on dreaming |
|
Of better days, and better ways |
|
Of living. |
|
Hey little princess, hey little pea, |
|
Come down from your tower and dance with me. |
|
Yah, you're the fairest one in the land. |
|
Try on this glass slipper and give me your hand. |
|
Hey little princess, hey little pea, |
|
Come down from your tower and dance with me |
|
Yah, you're the fairest one in the land. |
