Cinderella For Hire

Long flowing hair and sparkling green eyes

So of course to you it's no surprise

How wells she dances, how it makes you feel

Grabbing her hands, you say "Let's dance for real."

 

A gleam in her eyes causes you to wonder

But it all fades away when she makes a blunder

She didn't follow you lead so she tripped over her feet

You laugh so innocently as you feel your heart beat

 

The whole room is watching you now

How did you get here? No one knows how

Together you and her create jade-white fire

You didn't suspect she was a Cinderella for hire

 

The clock strikes eleven, her mind isn't on her dancing

But still, with you, she continues her prancing

You ask if she's okay, she pretends not to hear

But something in her eyes arouses your fear

 

It's now eleven-thirty and her dancing is getting worse

She runs back and forth from you, frantically searching her purse

Something is off, but she's your only desire

Nobody knew she was a Cinderella for hire

 

It's eleven forty-five, and she's stopped moving at all

She had too many mistakes, too many falls

You and her talk about life, 'bout marriage and friends

And you pray and wish the night don't have to end

 

The clock strikes twelve and her eyes get wide

You knows somethings wrong so you ask her to confide

She shakes her head and says "Goodbye" in strife

And out from her purse comes a double-edged knife

 

You looked at her and then get the feeling

There's no time for dancing, only for fleeing

You turn to run, but she grabs and stabs

And tears fall down your face like broken glass

 

You fall to your knees and everything goes black

Rethinking this night, "the best you've ever had"

Matches are thrown, the room in actually jade-white fire

She walks away unscathed, that Cinderella for hire
