Cinderella search (Dick, Derek) [5:28, 6418 kB]


On the rebound, fumbling all the lines
The light at the end of the bottle
Alcoholic alphabet, through the looking glass
The proof of my own reflection, my own reflection
Five senses down and reeling on the Cinderella search
Cinderella search

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines
Decay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aim
Conversation needs translation
Three dimensions down dissolving on the Cinderella search
Cinderella search, search

On the rebound, writing all the lines
Dreaming bartenders, bourbon and the saxophone
Out of luck, out of charm I forgive rejections in a cigarette city
Only courting the homing of direction
On the Cinderella search, Cinderella search

But the samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken
Swam through the nicotine seas and we exchanged the kiss of life
Resurrection in a trance, the model, the grail
In a marquee of promises I touched the dream, I hold the dream, I have the dream
To end the Cinderella search, Cinderella search
Oh no more, no more

Exposing bedside manners on a work extension
Awaiting development wif paranoid polaroid eyes, polaroid eyes
The footman memorized the number but the prince still holds both the slippers
And would you leave a palace for a bedsit in Canterbury Tales, Canterbury Tales?

Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase
Maybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safe
But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine?
I'll never really know for sure, you never really gave me time
Gave me time, won't you give me that time?

Welcome back to the circus
Welcome back to the circus
Welcome back to the circus
I always use the cue sheets but never the nets
Always the cue sheets but never the nets, never the nets, never the nets, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless

Welcome back to the circus!

I'm a big fan of Marillion's Fish-era, and Derek William Dick is the man I'll perpetually owe a beer.
