Ever After Happily (Live) - Jay Brannan

Written by：Jay Brannan

The smell of a candle

Freshly blown out

The light of the clock

Shines on my skin

Like a sickly green moonlight

On a pale white days decay

I try to wipe you from my memory

But your face won't fade away

Another boy kissed me today

I laughed in his mouth

It's not funny that I'm not kissing you

I'm not laughing because we fell through

It's the stories they told us when we were younger about life and love

How our happiness lies in the hands of another

Who fly in on the wings of a dove

Well that's the way the fairy tale goes

Boy meets girl and they wed with roses

But that's not the way it seems to be

And I'm pissed that they lied to me

Cruz boy meets boy and boy runs away

Or girl meets girl and shes afraid to stay

We end up home alone watching court TV

Not living ever after happily

You're right

You are prince charming

Onto the next princess when hes bored with the last

Hes the hero of every story

Hes got his chapter in every girls book

He walks away with all the honor and glory

But I wonder what else he took

Goodbye prince charming

And drown sleeping beauty

Shove Cinderellas slipper where the sun don't shine

Toss the little mermaid back out to sea

Cruz the fairy godmother had to perform another abortion today

And the seven wharves live in the forest of course cur they were driven away

But this part of the story could spark a cultural rage

So at the sound of the tone we just turn the page

Well that's the way the fairy tale goes

Boy meets girl and they wed with roses

But that's not the way it seems to be

And I'm pissed that they lied to me

Cruz boy meets boy and boy runs away

Or girl meets girl and shes afraid to stay

We end up home alone watching court TV

Not living ever after happily

Starting today

Well tell the story my way

The king of imperfection

Takes back the prince of mistakes
