For Ella

The pantomime I play in From dawn right through to twilight Searching for Prince Charming Or at least an armoured knight And all the yellow brick roads The frogs I had to kiss Were nothing more than fables With a dark malicious twist I met a few Pinocchio's Trolls at the very least Spent nights in the dungeon Less Beauty, more the Beast And if you go down to the woods today You're in for a big suprise I've had enough of the big bad wolf And his cunning, filthy lies So promise me, my princess As you fly with fairy dust Your breadcrumbs always lead back home Because I loved you first For my little girl. Don't make the mistakes I did.
