Cinderella’s Downfall
When I’m drinking you go from prince to king
When I’m steaming I’m shouting your name out loud
The drink I think it goes to my head
’cause drops of it fall from my eyes
Too many stories of Snow White and sweet Cinderella
Have twisted my thinking, I’ve never been one of their kind
But you’d like me to be sweet ’n’ small
But I swear like a soldier and I’m miles too tall
Don’t waste your time
Mmm, I may be a clown
One thing I’ve found
Too many like me
Believe all they read on those well-meaning knees
Don’t waste your time
I may be a clown
One thing I’ve found
Too many like me
Believe all they read on those well-meaning knees
Last order’s ringing, I throw myself down the stairs
This night air is colder than ice, but I really don’t care
November chills can’t freeze the heart
This girl
So I’m going round your house now
Gonna kick the door down
I feel like Robert Mitchum and I’m
Spinning you around
