Modern Fairytale - Yeah, another one.
I'll tell ya a modern fairy tale
with beer and vodka 'stead of ale
where rainy nights and passing cars
take on the roles of dreams and stars.
No princess here, instead we see
a girl who's feeling wild and free.
Her famous smile? A wicked grin.
Though she does retain her flawless skin.
No pampered knight in shining steel,
but just a man who's sure he'll heal.
Big bad wolfy on his chest
In place of some old noble crest.
Her castle prison, you will find
is now a castle in her mind
his shield and sword no more on show
just leather and punches, quick to throw.
No evil dragon left to fight
just drunken morons late at night
He wins no title, gold or crown
he's damaged, bloody, broken down.
The bars and locks and cunning traps
are conversational now, perhaps.
The heavy bolted fortress door
a challenge issued on the dance floor,
And though there's no more winding spire
the night burns hot as dragon's fire.
Instead of a quest, what drives him you'll find
are the sparks the pair of them leave behind.
And though it's no classic story, this
tale will still end with true love's first kiss.
Or, to make short this tale that I'm trying to tell
I can't write for shit, but I fight and kiss like hell.
