{One, two, three, four} It's a cold northern rain Two degrees above freezin' day Standin' outside the Chinese With a glow lamp to light my way See to me now There's no manual to show you how But there's reams of scrapbooks in my basement An' a spiral staircase down So pour it out It's just a fairytale You don't even trust yourself You've got to mark your trail Yeah, people from our past Their appeal just don't last Write them off for dead and then You've realized they've died too fast I'm supposed to be a rock But I could not bear the shock All a wreck at the airport My nerves are all I got So pour it out It's just a fairytale You can't convince yourself That you're on the right trail You see through My eyes but you'll never see to me But I wish you all the best That I must confess I did not think I passed or failed But it should not be a test So pour it out It's just a fairytale You don't even hear yourself You're just whistlin' down the trail You can see to me You can see to me
