==Lyrics==
Did you just escape from the halfway house<br>
Did time drag behind those stone walls<br>
Did you tire of always discussing your health<br>
with your counselors Hecate and Horis<br>
So put on your coat of many colors and go<br>
to the lonely fairy in the forest

Did you just spend the last 10 years with the good time crowd<br>
Were you proud to be a shining satellite around their bon fire<br>
Did the morning reveal empty cans, cigarette buts and ringing ears<br>
and the only way you had left to define justice<br>
So steal your mother's fetish blindfold and go<br>
to the lonely fairy in the forest

Is the bus you ride the 22 Mary Celeste<br>
Are the other passengers cold and strange<br>
Do they remind you that your life isn't really your own<br>
Do your eyes sing the song of dust<br>
So teach your pirate's parrot a Woody Guthrie song<br>
and go to the lonely fairy in the forest

He's the kind of fish you fry if you dive into these waters<br>
that are filled with old tires, moonlight and unhappy eels<br>
where the hunger of the great beyond is beyond hunger<br>
and the content of your heart only adds spice to their meal<br>
So if you bring him a shot glass for his shot glass collection<br>
and say, "My lonely fairy, but you're looking young and thin,"<br>
Then mocking you he'll throw some new stars on the horizon<br>
and throw a horoscope where only the good people win

Is your dream of serenity a broken watch<br>
that you shake and shake but can't get ticking<br>
Are the voices in your head paranoid alcoholics who<br>
breathe in your face and say, "you know you deserve us"
