CINDERELLA |
| [00:06.430] |
He's a very smart Prince, |
| [00:10.027] |
He's a Prince who prepares. |
| [00:13.087] |
Knowing this time I'd run from him, |
| [00:17.197] |
He spread pitch on the stairs. |
| [00:20.937] |
I was caught unawares. |
| [00:23.050] |
And I thought: well, he cares- |
| [00:26.711] |
This is more than just malice. |
| [00:30.708] |
Better stop and take stock |
| [00:32.400] |
While you're standing here stuck |
| [00:33.628] |
On the steps of the palace. |
| [00:37.168] |
You think, what do you want? |
| [00:39.797] |
You think, make a decision. |
| [00:42.183] |
Why not stay and be caught? |
| [00:43.138] |
You think, well, it's a thought, |
| [00:44.337] |
What would be his response? |
| [00:47.248] |
But then what if he knew |
| [00:48.137] |
Who you were when you know |
| [00:49.228] |
That you're not what he thinks |
| [00:50.480] |
That he wants? |
| [00:53.607] |
And then what if you are? |
| [00:55.697] |
What a Prince would envision? |
| [00:58.169] |
Although how can you know |
| [00:59.268] |
Who you are till you know |
| [01:00.527] |
What you want, which you don't? |
| [01:01.847] |
So then which do you pick: |
| [01:03.379] |
Where you're safe, out of sight, |
| [01:04.468] |
And yourself, but where everything's wrong? |
| [01:07.631] |
Or where everything's right |
| [01:09.307] |
And you know that you'll never belong? |
| [01:13.577] |
And whichever you pick, |
| [01:14.627] |
Do it quick, |
| [01:15.407] |
'Cause you're starting to stick |
| [01:16.438] |
To the steps of the palace. |
| [01:19.899] |
It's your first big decision, |
| [01:22.150] |
The choice isn't easy to make. |
| [01:24.577] |
To arrive at a ball |
| [01:25.880] |
Is exciting and all- |
| [01:27.157] |
Once you're there, though, it's scary. |
| [01:29.738] |
And it's fun to deceive |
| [01:31.016] |
When you know you can leave, |
| [01:32.368] |
But you have to be wary. |
| [01:35.046] |
There's a lot that's at stake, |
| [01:36.156] |
But you've stalled long enough, |
| [01:37.431] |
'Cause you're still standing stuck |
| [01:38.866] |
In the stuff on the steps... |
| [01:40.306] |
Better run along home |
| [01:42.286] |
And avoid the collision. |
| [01:45.370] |
Even though they don't care, |
| [01:46.416] |
You'll be better of there |
| [01:47.856] |
Where there's nothing to choose, |
| [01:49.136] |
So there's nothing to lose. |
| [01:51.737] |
So you pry up your shoes. |
| [01:54.696] |
Then from out of the blue, |
| [01:58.057] |
And without any guide, |
| [02:00.747] |
You know what your decision is, |
| [02:02.707] |
Which is not to decide. |
| [02:05.046] |
You'll leave him a clue: |
| [02:07.068] |
For example, a shoe. |
| [02:11.150] |
And then see what he'll do. |
| [02:12.447] |
Now it's he and not you |
| [02:14.878] |
Who is stuck with a shoe, |
| [02:16.368] |
In a stew, in the goo, |
| [02:20.827] |
And you've learned something, too, |
| [02:22.907] |
Something you never knew, |
| [02:25.856] |
On the steps of the palace. |
