Cinderella Search Lyrics - Marillion

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines 

The light at the ends of the bottle alcoholic alphabet 

Through the looking glass the proof in my own reflection 

Five senses down and reeling on the Cinderella search 

Cinderella search 

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines 

Decay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aim 

Conversation needs translation 

Three dimensions down dissolving on the Cinderella search 

Cinderella search, Cinderella search 

Search 

On the rebound, fumbling all the lines 

Dreaming bartenders, bourbon and saxophone 

Out of luck, out of charm 

Out the game of rejections in a cigarette city 

Only courting the homing of direction on the Cinderella search 

Cinderella search 

But the Samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken 

Swam through the nicotine seize and we exchanged the kiss of life 

Resurrection in a trance, the model, the grail 

In a marquee of promises I touched the dream 

I hold the dream, I have the dream 

To end the Cinderella search 

Cinderella search, oh no more, no more 

No more, no more 

Exposing bedside manners on a work extension 

Awaiting development with paranoid Polaroid eyes 

Polaroid eyes 

The footman memorized the number 

But the prince still holds both the slippers 

And would you leave a palace for a bedsit 

And Canterbury tales, Canterbury tales? 

Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase 

Maybe you were always beyond my reach 

And my heart was playing safe 

But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine? 

I'll never really know for sure you really gave me time 

Give me time, won't you give me that time 

Welcome back to the circus 

Welcome back to the circus 

Welcome back to the circus 

I always use the cue sheets but never the nets 

Always the cue sheets but never the nets 

Never the nets, never the nets, nevertheless 

Nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless 

Welcome back to the circus
