I watched her steal through rainy August nights
Caught me under her umbrella, with blue lips
Snake bites and tongue piercings, cigerettes inviting
Made it much better to ward off the chills, her skin
Was papyrus and writing on it hard but I knew I could
She said her name was Cinderella, and I had one hour
And now she's got me wandering streets to look for her
These anonymous streets with windswept trash, seemed
More like a zoo and I caught a glimpse of her hair running through
Acryllic color signs, traffic lights, and through dimly lit alleyways
She said her name was Cinderella, and don't tell anybody
To fit her into their shoes, but she said I could if I choose
And I could picture us escaping this zoo, to the beaches
In some shoddy beach line, with her golden tanline
And the palms of her hands hindering mine from swimming
But I watched her steal through rainy August nights
Ignoring me under her umbrella, and away she goes
