Artist: The Magnetic Fields Album: 69 Love Songs, Pt. 2
Lyrics
Someone told me you'd be here Whispering these familiar things Talking to my little pet, smoking the same old cigarettes …I would have laughed
I saw you last in summertime You said you hated long goodby-y-yes You said, "there's nothing to explain, in every life a little rain" …Etcetera
~ chorus ~ And a long-forgotten fairytale is in your eyes again And i'm caught inside a dream world where the colors are too intense …And nothing is making sense
There's a floating town of eiderdown in a mist of mystery There's an old enchanted castle and the princess there is me …Decked-out like a christmas tree ~ end chorus ~
I guess you've had your little joke But I have lost my sense of hu-u-mor My medication's wearing off, for it's just not strong enough …To cover this
Then you kissed me like before I found myself wanting more And you tell that little lie that kept me hypnotized …Another kiss
~ chorus ~
If somebody told me i'd succumb If someone said i'd be so dumb After all the sleepless nights, when I turned on all the lights …I would have hit them
But I have turned the other cheek My voice trembles, my knees are weak
And you beat me once again And I know what happens then …You raise the ante
~ chorus ~
