Marillion - Cinderella Search Lyrics
(derek dick, mark kelly, steve rothery, peter trewavas, ian mosley)On the rebound, fumbling all the linesThe light at the end of the bottle - alcoholicalphabetThrough the looking glassThe proof in my own reflectionFive senses down and reeling on the cinderella searchOn the rebound, fumbling all the linesDecay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aimConversation needs translationThree dimensions down dissolving on the cinderella searchCinderella searchOn the rebound, fumbling all the linesDreaming bartenders, bourbon and saxophoneOut of luck, out of charm, out the game of rejections in a cigarette cityOnly courting the homing of direction on the cinderella searchCinderella searchBut the samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbrokenSwam through the nicotine seize, and we exchanged the kiss of lifeResurrection in a trance, the model, the grail, in a marquee of promises I touched the dreamI hold the dream, I have the dreamTo end the cinderella searchCinderella search, oh no more, no more!Exposing bedside manners on a work extensionAwaiting development with paranoid polaroid eyesPolaroid eyesThe footman memorised the numberBut the prince still holds both the slippersAnd would you leave a palace for a bedsitAnd canterbury talesCanterbury tales?Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chaseMaybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safeBut was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine?Give me time, wont you give me that time!Welcome back to the circusWelcome back to the circusWelcome back to the circusI always use the cue sheets but never the netsAlways the cue sheets but never the netsNever the nets, never the nets, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, neverthelessWelcome back to the circus!
