When I wrote this, I was thinking of how much sexual subtext there is in fairy tales, and what it would be like if that were explicit rather than implied... so this is basically an erotica version of sleeping beauty.
I wrote this song, among others, for a woman I was dating a few years ago. She loved it, but if I ever played it in public, she would leave the room. Which is understandable... as pop songs go, it's not exactly X rated, but it isn't PG either ;D
A Fairytale
So the boy slays the beast
Hacks his way through a wall of thorns
Scales a tower made of glass
Takes her in his arms and
This is like nothing he has ever tasted
Lips so cold and so sweet
Everything
Everything is melting
In the sudden rush of heat
Beasts can be fearsome, certainly
And he did lose a lot of blood at the wall of thorns
And the truth is that the tower almost broke his neck
But this...
This girl could break his heart
She's like nothing he has ever tasted
Lips so cold and so sweet
And everything
Everything is melting
In the sudden rush of heat
Now the silk of her hair
Now the blush upon her cheek
Now the hot blood drawn
By those sharp little teeth
And she's a dirty
Dirty princess
So hot
And so sweet
She's melting
Like ice cream
All over
The sheets
Oh she is such a naughty princess
Scratch that itch till it bleeds
Could it be
That happily
Ever after means
You have to expect to lose control
At least a little bit
Isn't this what you signed up for
When you kissed the kiss that
Broke the curse
That held the whole world frozen
Everybody waiting for a thaw
Now all the ice
All the ice is breaking
Just look at all these things
You thought you'd lost
Now the silk of her hair
Now the blush upon her cheek
Now the hot blood drawn
By those sharp little teeth
And she's a dirty
Dirty princess
So hot
And so sweet
She's melting
Like ice cream
All over
The sheets
Oh she is such a naughty princess
Scratch that itch till it bleeds
Could this be
What happily
Ever after means

I left the crying in at the beginning of the video because I thought it was funny... I was interrupted in the middle of a really good take just before this one. But I actually think this turned out even better ;)
