Jay Brannan - Ever After Happily lyrics

The smell of a candle Freshly blown out The light of the clock Shines on my skin Like a sickly green moonlight On a pale white day's decay I try to wipe you from my memory But your face won't fade away Another boy kissed me today I laughed in his mouth It's not funny that I'm not kissing you I'm not laughing because we fell through It's the stories they told us when we were younger about life and love How our happiness lies in the hands of another Who'd fly in on the wings of a dove [Chorus] Well that's the way the fairy tale goes Boy meets girl and they wed with roses But that's not the way it seems to be And I'm pissed that they lied to me Cuz boy meets boy and boy runs away Or girl meets girl and she's afraid to stay We end up home alone watching court tv Not living ever after happily You're right You are prince charming Onto the next princess when he's bored with the last He's the hero of every story He's got his chapter in every girl's book He walks away with all the honor and glory But I wonder what else he took Goodbye, prince charming And drown sleeping beauty Shove Cinderella's slipper where the sun don't shine Toss the little mermaid back out to sea Cuz the fairy godmother had to perform another abortion today And the seven dwarves live in the forest, of course, cuz they were driven away But this part of the story could spark a cultural rage So at the sound of the tone we just turn the page [Chorus] Starting today We'll tell the story my way The king of imperfection Takes back the prince of mistakes
