chase your fairytale

sadly ever after
glass slippers shattered
do you know how much a wheelchair lift costs for a pumpkin carriage

so prince charming left her
and sold his horse to elmers,
so he could buy a shiny red convertible
and get himself some young fairy pussy

he settled for a beauty whom he left asleep
and snuck out early so he wouldnt have to kiss her awake
and he never even called her

she got herself a tub of ice cream
and flicked on springer
where the white family was throwing chairs
it turns out mizz snow was having seven affairs
(at least they were little ones)

sneezy died rich after suing doc for malpractice
and happy and dopey were taken down when their meth lab was raided
grumpy was on a pleasant walk (thanks to prozac) and was hit by sleepy alseep at the wheel,
may their souls rest in peace
and bashful67@yahoo.com sold all of their possessions on eBay
and wrote a suicide note on myspace, killed himself the next day

rapunzel, rapunzel let down your hair
i cant i cant tis but a wig
turns out even the strongest prince
cant save you from cancer

and the beauty always had bruises
from the beast of course
oh wait no, she fell
so clumsy so clumsy
she tripped and she fell

and that expecting mother never ever had to guess his name
rumple-whatever it was, because she went to the clinic,
she couldnt raise a child,
no not being the poor seamstress she was

so write me a story a ballad even a legend
and we'll send off our heroes to a magical land
full of rubble and oil and magnificent sand
and it will have a wonderful splendid glorious end.
