Cinderella Search

Marillion

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 
Five senses down and reeling on the Cinderella search 

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines 
Decay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aim 
Conversation needs translation 
Three dimensions down dissolving on the Cinderella search, Cinderella search 

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines 
Dreaming bartenders, bourbon and saxophone 
Out of luck, out of charm, out the game of rejections in a cigarette city 
Only courting the homing of direction on the Cinderella search, Cinderella search 

But the Samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken 
Swam through the nicotine seize, and we exchanged the kiss of life 
Resurrection in a trance, the model, the Grail, in a Marquee of promises 
I touched the dream, I hold the dream, I have the dream 
To end the Cinderella search, Cinderella search, oh no more, no more! 

Exposing bedside manners on a work extension 
Awaiting development with paranoid Polaroid eyes, Polaroid eyes 

The footman memorised the number 
But the prince still holds both the slippers 
And would you leave a palace for a bedsit 
And 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 
Give me time, won't you give me that 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 never the nets 
Never the nets, never the nets 
Nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless 

Welcome back to the circus!
