Lyrics

FAIRYTALE LIFE

Verse I
Wake up wake up wake up
My head is pounding hard
Maybe I should go back to sleep till I can think straight
What's my name again
Where am I again?
There's a wedding dress
Lying next to me
What went down last night?
Can't remember
Oh boy I'm in trouble

CHORUS
This is no fairytale life
That I'm living
Just an ordinary life
But I'll keep on swingin
Yes I'll keep on swingin
And I want you to swing along

Verse II
Get up, get dressed Get Out
I don't want to be here
When the groom finds out...too late the door swings open
I've wedding dress in hand
As he starts to scream
Where the hell's my wife?
Then he pulls a knife
I finally find my voice
"I can't remember"
Oh boy I'm in trouble

CHORUS
This is no fairytale life
That I'm living
Just an ordinary life
But I'll keep on swingin
Yes I'll keep on swingin
And I want you to swing along

Bridge
How do I get myself
Into these situations
Without explanations
And how do I get myself out?

Verse III
Just then the Bride Walks in
Sees what's going on
I'm about to get skinned alive, she turns and she says
Put away the knife
We can talk this out
That is not my dress
A closer look
The groom starts to laugh
My brain is racing
The dress was her brother's
