Correction Lyrics Storyville Station by Paul Shapera

Lyrics

The girl felt scared and so unsure
The tales they told, the thousand doors
She saw the wolf in the forest and bed
And thought, “it's better to be a wolf instead”

So she buys a ticket to Storyville Station
Where pages enfold the lost ones taken
And every day just goes by like a dream

Now the girl is a wolf full of fierce and guile
She hunts her prey and runs the wild
At last, though, she is caught by man
And now she sees an even better plan

So she buys a ticket to Storyville Station
Where the players are cast before they’ve awaken
And every day just goes by like a dream
And seem is not to be
Here now, here with me

As man, she is mighty and tames the land
‘til soldiers come and above her stand
But above the soldiers, a general sits
Who takes his orders straight from a Prince

So she buys a ticket to Storyville Station
Where everyone's wishing and the play eats the players
And every day just goes by like a dream

And seem is not to be
Here now won't you be now here with me
All is not as always it might seem
Dreamers lost in dreams within a dream

Now she’s the Prince staring at the King
But the King he cracks, broken by something
He gives up his gold, kingdom, power and all
The Prince must know what causes kings to fall

Well he walked away from the top of the world
All for the love of just one girl

Storyville Station can never take
The one who's here now and awake
The pages fall, the girl transcends
The life that's lived just in your head
The show, the role she was lost within
The opera she thought she starred in
Where every day just goes by like a dream
