"Cinderella Search" Track 5 _B'sides Themselves_ ---



On the rebound, fumbling all the lines

The light at the end of the bottle

Alcoholic alphabet, through the looking glass

The proof in my own reflection, reflection

Five senses down and reeling on the Cinderella search

Cinderella search, search



On the rebound, fumbling all the lines

Decay on the vertical hold

With a horizontal in conversation needs translation

Three dimensions down dissolving on the Cinderella search

Cinderella search



On the rebound, writing all the lines

Dreaming bartender's bourbon and the saxaphone

Out of luck, out of charm I forgive rejections

In cigarette city only courting the holding 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 mortal, the grail

In a marquee of promises I touch the dream, I hold the dream

I have the dream to end the Cinderella search, Cinderella search

Oh no more, no more



Exposing the bedside manners on a work extension

Awaiting development with 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 the 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 nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless,

nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless,

Welcome back to the circus!
