Cinderella Undercover Lyrics - Singles - Oingo Boingo

When I was young, my mind would always wander away 

I couldn't talk, never had nothin' to say 

But now I'm grown, nothing much seems to have changed 

I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Is this a fairy tale, are you the seven dwarfs 

Did Snow White really die while fighting in the war? 

They were the only friends I ever trusted 

Now they're scattered, and livin' in the city unlisted numbers 

Cinderella undercover 

I say, better alive than dead 

The war is coming, but there's nothing much that we can do 

Stuck in a pay-phone, but the operator won't let me through 

I close my eyes, but the memories burn in my brain 

I think I'm going insane yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

I heard a rumor, they said it's gone nuclear 

I stockpile cigarettes, and double bolt the door 

A sanctuary for all my friends we'll stay in bed until the world ends 

So please don't wake me, I gotta get some sleep 

Cinderella undercover 

I say, better alive than dead 

I think I'm going insane, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 

Is this a fairy tale, this can't be real 

There's fighting all around, they're shooting in the fields 

They say that values change when hunger or ambition strikes 

Survival is essential, at any cost or any price 

The cartoon animals on old McDonald's farm 

Are nodding off in hotel rooms with needles in their arms 

The seven dwarfs, there's only four alive today 

Cinderella's working for the CIA 

Cinderella, the fairy tale's over 

You should know, you got the scars to prove it 

And your skin isn't as soft as it used to 

But I don't care, come on you said it baby 

Cinderella undercover 

I say, better alive than 

Cinderella undercover 

I say, better alive than dead
