Someone told me you’d be here
Whispering these familiar things
Talking to my little pet
Smoking the same old cigarettes
I would have laughed
I saw you last in summertime
You said you hated long goodbyes
You said, “There’s nothing to explain
In every life a little rain”
Etcetera
And a long-forgotten fairytale
Is in your eyes again
And I’m caught inside a dream world
Where the colors are too intense
And nothing is making sense
There’s a floating town of Ire Down
In a mist of mystery
There’s an old enchanted castle
And the princess there is me
Decked-out like a Christmas tree
I guess you’ve had your little joke
But I have lost my sense of humor
My medication’s wearing off
For it’s just not strong enough
To cover this
But then you kissed me like before
I found myself wanting more
And you tell that little lie
That kept me hypnotized
Another kiss

And a long-forgotten fairytale
Is in your eyes again
And I’m caught inside a dream world
Where the colors are too intense
And nothing is making sense
There’s a floating town of Ire Down
In a mist of mystery
There’s an old enchanted castle
And the princess there is me
Decked-out like a Christmas tree
If somebody told me I’d succumb
If someone said I’d be so dumb
After all the sleepless nights
When I turned on all the lights
I would have hit them
But I have turned
The other cheek
My voice trembles
My knees are weak
And you beat me once again
And I know what happens then
You raise the ante
And a long-forgotten fairytale
Is in your eyes again
And I’m caught inside a dream world
Where the colors are too intense
And nothing is making sense

"Ire Down" is more likely to be "Eiderdown" (as in the duck feather bedspread). "My medication's wearing off / For it's just not strong enough" is funnier if it's "My medication's wearing off / Or it's just not strong enough"
