about

Fairytale ending is about the sexist sinkhole that is respectable domesticity, and the risks and rewards of running like hell in the other direction.

lyrics

Who would love the dragon
child with quickening breath
two red rocket shoes, too good to lose
who’ll dance herself to death

Unsettle the familiar
let down thrice unspoken
she unfolds her hair, no longer there
the story which is broken

Wasted elation, no insulation
emotions for any occasion
fire back, you see
you see, occasionally

Dishes pile high as
the very tallest tower
in which you find within your mind
the very smallest bower

There you could spin a lifetime
soothing fucking thorns
the witch, your master Mary
has nothing except scorn

Wasted elation, no insulation
emotions for any occasion
fire back, you see
you see, occasionally

(Oh my lady)
It breathes, the law
And those it protects
(Laid waste, laid waste to me)
It sings inside

(Oh wasted lady)
And they are like flowers
(Laid me waste, wasted me)
Chaste as glass

(Oh my lay me)
And their souls shall flow
(Waste me, lady)
Like piss
in the streets of the great city

(Oh oh oh my lady, waste for me
Oh my lady
Laid me
Waste)
