Song #5: A Dustland Fairytale- The Killers
From the album Day & Age, released November 18, 2008
"Saw Cinderella in a party dress/ but she was lookin' for a nightgown/ I saw the devil wrapping up his hands/ he's getting ready for the showdown/ I saw the minute that I turned away/ I got my money on a palm tonight/ change came in disguise of revelation set his soul on fire/ she says she always knew he'd come around/ and the decades disappear like sinking ships/ but we preserve God gives us hope/ but we still fear what we don't know/ my mind is poison/ castles in the sky sit stranded/ vandalized/ a drawbridge is closin'...
/now Cinderella don't you go to sleep/ it's just a bitter form of refuge/ oh don't you know the kingdom's under siege/ and everybody needs you/ is there still magic in the midnight sun/ or did you leave it back in '61/ in the cadence of a young man's eyes/ I wouldn't dream so high"
