All fairy tales are lies
The stars we see have been dead for ages
Still I only look up
Otherwise I often find the world too big
Always two feet off the ground for safety
Lose my footing with every step, I hope it's not much farther
Thought it'd be different when I grew up
But all fairy tales are lies
Even the sky isn't high enough
Wherever I want to go, I never get there
I watch all of you from up here
I set cloud nine on fire
I know if I stay, there's no way back
And if there is, I've no luck
Even the sky isn't high enough
Wherever I want to go, I never get there
I think the world's not lost
If it is, then please don't tell me
Banged my head on the clouds
Wait for the lightning till it hits me
Don't know how long, but maybe I'll arrive
Ask myself when, and if something happens, then what?
All fairy tales are lies
Yet this world isn't lost
Even the sky isn't high enough
Wherever I want to go, I never get there
I watch all of you from up here
I set cloud nine on fire
I know if I stay, there's no way back
And if there is, I've no luck
Even the sky isn't high enough
Wherever I want to go, I never get there
Snow White's poisoned, Rapunzel's hair's turning gray
The Sandman overslept and Sleeping Beauty never wakes up
The man in the moon has moved, good fairies gather dust
Pinocchio is plastic and Peter Pan's grown up
All fairy tales are lies
The stars we see have been dead for ages
Gravity pulls me toward the ground
And still I look up
