Lyrics

CINDERELLA

Cinderella was her name
She had a dream and it wasn?t very small
She dreamt one day she met an angel bright
Who?d take pity on her plight and grant her wish
All while washing the cold hard floor one day

And so she saw what she saw and all
All she wished was to become someone again
A someone who could somebody be
Who?d take flight from her pity
And plant her wishbone deep inside the ground
Yet she knew it would end some other way
Oh she knew it would end some other way.


12 O?clock the angel said
And everything you have will vanish again
Just like the last time when you were at the ball
You will disappear with nothing at all

She glided past the silken moonlight
A dryad emerging from a dream of allure
Illusion never knew a feast of such delight
As the night drew in resplendent hues
Of ochre and cream
Poised to be the envy of her dream

Dancing in the arms of love
A knight gallant who would besotted fall
And fain would he hold her
Till the tolls of twelve are done
And undone she tries in vain to steal away
The lustre of her beauty turned to grey

What would it take to win a trip to the zoo?
What dire consequences could thus ensue?
If dreams and states of dreaming
Were to be true
Would you disappear with nothing at all?
