Lyrics
0:04Why you look so sad and all alone
0:09Did you prick your thumb did you skin your knee
0:14Running down the stairs looking for me
0:19Everything's on fire and everyone's asleep
0:24And they're burning wheels at the king's feet
0:30You where'd you go Who you running from
0:51Everyone loves a sleeping beauty
0:56On the stage or on the screen
1:01So you take it like a man
1:03Do what you can while you can
1:07Try not to scream
1:09Your daddy he came upstairs to tuck you in
1:17Why'd you look so scared
1:20Where's the queen your mother dear
1:24She's in the next room over finger in her ears
1:29She doesn't want to hear she thinks you're a liar
1:34So you light a match and you cast your spell
1:37And you start the fire
1:39Then you try to run but you don't get far
1:44You're gonna lie for a century dreaming in the dark
1:51Everyone loves a sleeping beauty
1:56On the stage or on the screen
2:01So you take it like a man
2:03Do what you can while you can
2:07Try not to scream
2:31Someday I'll come looking for ya
2:36Through the roses and the thorns
2:38I'll come crawling through it all
2:41It might take a hundred years
2:43But I'll be here when the smoke clears
2:46To tear down the wall
2:51'Cause everyone loves a sleeping beauty
2:56The northern lights are out tonight
3:01Aurora can you hear me
3:03I know you're weary
3:05If you open up your eyes
3:07You'll be alright
Why you look so sad and all alone Did you prick your thumb did you skin your knee Running down the stairs looking for me Everything's on fire and everyone's asleep And they're burning wheels at the king's feet You where'd you go Who you running from Everyone loves a sleeping beauty On the stage or on the screen So you take it like a man Do what you can while you can Try not to scream Your daddy he came upstairs to tuck you in Why'd you look so scared Where's the queen your mother dear She's in the next room over finger in her ears She doesn't want to hear she thinks you're a liar So you light a match and you cast your spell And you start the fire Then you try to run but you don't get far You're gonna lie for a century dreaming in the dark Everyone loves a sleeping beauty On the stage or on the screen So you take it like a man Do what you can while you can Try not to scream Someday I'll come looking for ya Through the roses and the thorns I'll come crawling through it all It might take a hundred years But I'll be here when the smoke clears To tear down the wall 'Cause everyone loves a sleeping beauty The northern lights are out tonight Aurora can you hear me I know you're weary If you open up your eyes You'll be alright
