CINDERELLA CITY


Take me back to Cinderella City.
Take me back to Cinderella City.
Roll back the clock to 1980.
Take me back to Cinderella City.

Cinderella City is now ancient history.
She was a mega-mall,
A pride of the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘9-…

Taco Buena fast food.
Feeling so damn hungry,
Dazed & Confused.
Take me back to Cinderella City.

Buying jeans and magazines.
Playing Galaga and Centipede.

That record store down in Cinder Alley:
I shopped there for music religiously.
Take me back to Cinderella City.

Take me back to Cinderella City,
That enchanted mart in Englewood.
Drop me off at the Shamrock Mall.
It would do the heart of this consumer good.

Love in 1987 at the C.C. Village Inn.
I can’t believe the excited state that I am in.

But all good things must come to pass.
She had to close her doors at last.
Take me back to Cinderella City.

Cinderella City couldn’t find her prince.
I saw them tearing her down off in the distance.
Tri-level tons of concrete thump.
My aching heart began to jump.
Take me back to Cinderella City.

Take me back to Cinderella City.
That enchanted mart in Englewood.
Drop me off at the Shamrock Mall.
It would do the heart of this consumer good.

Cinderella City, Thanks for the memories.
You are part of my personal mythology.

She represents the fall of The Tower:
You can’t stay a teenager forever.
Take me back to Cinderella City.

Take me back to Cinderella City.
Take me back to Cinderella City.
Roll back the clock to 1980.
Take me back to Cinderella City.

Take me back to Cinderella City.
Take me back to Cinderella City.
Take me back to Cinderella City.
Take me back to Cinderella City.
