She don't want no fairytale, very well
Obsessed with our reflections in these windows to the soul
That we all stuck staring out
Narcissus taking long glimpses
Deep into his stream of consciousness
Hard kissing carcasses
Time to start living my charmed princess
Armed henchman at all entrances
Dark vision in surveillance tapes
While I repel from her apartment
Rapunzel is still awake
Out her hair, turning fifty shades
She half that age but live that way
Left stargazing, I'm testing fate
In escapades thru cityscapes
On the roof with Montesquieu
And Rousseau for the overnight shift
On the loose like Pluto
From loopholes that won't tighten
Seen Sleeping Beauty in a group home
Sniff Snow White through a swirly straw
Worldly flaws from early on
Watch an icy dwarf turn superstar

There it is
I don't want you to love me
Like in the movies
Like in the movies
And I won't love you forever
Like in the movies
I want the real thing

I see pain in your best face
But to each their own police state
It's checkmate, why replay
Got a sex tape for a keepsake
Spent her birthday in quarantine
Saying wake me up from this horrid dream
In the Presidential suite
Chugging Mr. Clean like it's Orange Cream
On top the pyramid, bargaining
With the afterlife, all black tattoos
Covered up with Egyptian linen
We cuddling in Hazmat suits
A passionate kiss more intimate
Than penetration for our generation
The last rubber is a glass slipper
Word to Chuck Palahniuk, savage ain't we
Soldiers on the horizon
Social Darwinism in the telescope
From the Galapagos to the Gulag
Solzhenitsyn's Archipelago
Post-apocalyptic metropolis
The death of God on our consciences
But the farther we get from the Garden
The harder it is to recall who the monster is
We primates in the Empire State
Climbing it, just trying to escape
But the higher we get, the sooner we find
There ain't none but our final fate

There it is
I don't want you to love me
Like in the movies
Like in the movies
And I won't love you forever
Like in the movies
I want the real thing

Love is a drug
An injustice we dealing
Yeah, I want the real thing
She swore her fealty
Not sure if I know the feeling
Could I find love in a lineup
Identify the real thing

I don't want you to love me
Like in the movies
Like in the movies
And I won't love you forever
I want the real thing
