Over deze songtekst:
Brandon Flowers, de zanger, schreef het lied toen zijn moeder te horen kreeg dat zij kanker had. Cinderella in het lied is zijn moeder. De 'slick chrome American prince' is zijn vader. Het lied werd uitgebracht op single in 2009. Deze nieuwe versie met Bruce Springsteen is uit 2021.
A dustland fairytale beginning Just another white trash County kiss In Sixty-One Long brown hair and foolish eyes He looks just like you want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince A blue jean serenade Moon River what'd you do to me But I don't believe you Saw Cinderella in a party dress but She was looking for a night gown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the show down I saw the minute that I turned away I got my money on a pawn tonight A change came in disguise of revelation Set his soul on fire She said she'd always knew he'd come around And the decades disappear like sinking Ships, but we persevere, God gives us hope But we still fear what we don't know The mind is poison Castle in the sky Sit stranded vandalized The drawbridge is closing Saw Cinderella in a party dress but She was looking for a night gown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the show down I saw the ending when they turned the page I threw my money and I ran away Straight to the Valley of the Great Divide Out where the dreams all hide And where the wind don't blow Out here the good girls die And the sky don't snow Out here the bird don't sing Out here the field don't grow Out here the bell don't ring Out here the bell don't ring Out here the good girls die Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep It's such a bitter form of refuge Ah don't you know the kingdom’s under siege And everybody needs you Is there still magic in the midnight sun Or did you leave it back in sixty-one In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams all hide
