lyrics

Song A

Mama don’t let go of my hand
I’m driftin
Just hangin round here like some
hangman’s noose
It’s like all that really mattered has been
Erased Wiped out
All my moorings have shaken loose
I know
I’ve lived
My life
Like I was never gonna be here very
Long
I burned
White hot
Flamed out
Wrote it all down as a song
Oh sha la la
Once upon a time it was a fairy tale
Oh sha la la
It feels like we’re one step away from an
epic fail


And if I can’t sing any louder ma then I do right now
Tell me how’re we ever gonna turn this thing around

Said the song to the singer “who’s leading this parade”?
Follow me
Said the singer to the song
As the verse had begun to reach
It’s creshendo
Some sad little chorus came along

But we sang
it all
together
and prayed for it to get us thru the night


but as the last
note leaves
the building
one can only hope we got it right

Oh sha la la
Once upon a time it was a fairy tale
Oh sha la la
It feels like we’re one step away from an epic fail
And if I can’t sing any louder ma then I do right now
Tell me how’re we ever gonna turn this thing around

And the grass aint greener
No where else
It all looks quite the same
When the curtains close
And the song is over
It’s time to call it a day
Could there be any other way

Oh sha la la
Once upon a time it was a fairy tale
Oh sha la la
It feels like we’re one step away from an epic fail
