It's a cold northern rain

Two degrees above freezing day

I'm standing outside the chinese

With a glow lamp to light my way



See to me now

There's no manual to show you how

But there's reams of scrapbooks in my basement

And a spiral staircase down



So pour it out

It's just a fairytale

You can't even trust yourself

You've got to mark your trail



Yeah, people from our past

Their appeal just don't last

Write them off for dead and then

You've realized they've died too fast



I'm supposed to be a rock

But I could not bear the shock

All a wreck at the airport

My nerves are all I got



So pour it out

It's just a fairytale

You can't convince yourself

That you're on the right trail



You see through

My eyes

But you'll never see through me



But I wish you all the best

That I must confess

I did not think I passed or failed

But it should not be a test



So pour it out

It's just a fairytale

You don't even hear yourself

You're just whistling down the trail



You can see through me 

You can see through me
