-==- (Revised 05/11/93) Thanks go to the Netters
Who sent me mail informing me of my mistakes
in hopes that we finally got this correct. :)
(You know who you are..)
--------------------------------------------
When I was young, my mind would always wander away
I wouldn'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

It's just a fairy tale of the seven dwarves
Did Snow White really die while fighting in the wars?
They were the only friends I ever trusted
Now they're scattered, livin' in the city
Unlisted numbers, Huh

Cinderella undercover
I say, better alive than dead

The war is coming, there's nothing much that we can do
Stuck at a pay-phone, the operator won't let me through
I close my eyes, memories burn in my brain
I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I heard a rumor, they said it's going to be us
I'll stop my cigarettes, I'm not about to grow old
Since you went, all my friends, 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

Just a fairy tale, this can't be real
There's fighting all around, they're screwing 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 and jump in with me

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