the horror we turn off as easy as the truths real life for make-believe news mirror, mirror on the wall what makes a nation stand or fall? looking glass windows broken and cracked drapes torn to shreds in a room in the back blood of the queen on the castle stairs king calls his minister of foreign affairs begin to shake a fiery dragon slowly wakes the rising bounty begins to call the kingdom comes to a crashing fall children tonight its only a fairy tale sleep tight, children tonight its only a fairy tale a knight in shining silver armor will rescue the king's beautiful daughter and all will be at peace again come my friend, take my hand its only a fairy tale in the wind blow in the distance stands a widow mourning alone at her husband's grave weeping for flowers no one saved she hopes to find on her hands and knees a nation blind but what you see is only what you know sitting alone in front of the show ms vision dressed in black can anyone bring her lover back? mother arrives turns off the TV says "why don't you children ever listen to me? children tonight its only a fairy tale sleep tight, children tonight its only a fairy tale a knight in shining silver armor will rescue the king's beautiful daughter and all will be at peace again come my friend, take my hand its only a fairy tale..." |
