A cousin of mine was having some difficulties

Clarissa lives in the land of 'once upon a time'
She's constructed all these fantasies of make-believe divine

Standing in the market square with sparkles on her cheek
Dazzling the passersby with pretty shades of pink

No one knows where she goes when she closes her eyes tight
A rendezvous with a Romeo in a castle in the sky

But when she was young her room was filled with pictures of unicorns
Stuffed Teddy bears upon the shelves, glass slippers never worn

She often dreams of a prince who'll sweep her off her feet
and rescue her from a life of concealed grief

But when she was young her room was filled with pictures of unicorns
Stuffed Teddy bears upon the shelves, glass slippers never worn

Where’s Mr. Charming?
Armed with his army
Where’s Mr. Charming?
Armed with his army

Don’t feed her to the monster
Don’t feed her to the crowd
Don’t feed her to the devil
Now that she has found a way she wants things to stay
Safe in this fairy tale

Locked inside a minaret she endures without a care
A dragon lurks inside her head, she's completely unaware

To make the curse go in reverse she must coerce a kiss
She reaches for her lipstick and buttons-down her dress

But when she was young her room was filled with pictures of unicorns
Stuffed Teddy bears upon the shelves, glass slippers never worn
