Bret Allard

She's in a Glass Coffin
 
Snow White doesn't live on Chestnut Street
The sidewalk's too littered and kept too dark
and Cinderella heels don't walk the park.
Man with a cigarette asks for a spark.
Corner man sways, asleep on his feet.
Snow White doesn't live on Chestnut Street
Somewhere to sleep, maybe something to eat,
Whatever you can get before the sharks.
and Cinderella heels don't walk the park.
A princess soon becomes an easy mark,
when knights in shining armor love to cheat.
Snow White doesn't live on
Chestnut Street.
The happy endings learned do not repeat.
Snow White couldn't live on elm tree bark
and Cinderella heels don't walk the park
In a big blue world where love's left stark
Rockwell dreams and fairy tales compete.
Snow White doesn't live on
Chestnut Street
and Cinderella heels don't walk the park.
