Cinderella Undercover — текст песни (Oingo Boingo)

When I was young, my mind would always wander away
I couldn`t talk, never had nothin to say
But now I`m grown, nothing much seems to have changed
I think I`m going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is this a fairy tale, are you the seven dwarves
Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war?
They were the only friends I ever trusted
Now they`re scattered, and livin` in the city
Unlisted numbers, Huh

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead

The war is coming, but there`s nothing much that we can do
Stuck in a pay-phone, but the operator won`t let me through
I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain
I think I`m going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I heard a rumor, they said it`s gone nuclear
I stockpile cigarettes, and double bold the door
A sanctuary for all my friends
We`ll stay in bed until the world ends
So please don`t wake me, I gotta get some sleep

Cinderella Undercover
I say, better alive than dead
I think I`m going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Is this a fairy tale, this can`t be real
There`s fighting all around, they`re shooting in the fields
They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes
Survival is essential, at any cost or any price
The cartoon animals on Old McDonald`s farm
Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms
The seven dwarves, HA!, there`s only four alive today
Cinderella`s working for the CIA

Cinderella, the fairy tale`s over
You should know, you got the scars to prove it
And your skin isn`t as soft as it used to
But I don`t care, come on you said it baby

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than
Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead
