Story Behind the Song
Written and recorded between the hours of 12 and 7 am Saturday, September 28, 2002. References to "fairy-tale" relationships are spread throughout.
Lyrics
It happened just the other day that a fairy tale they said it would be.
But as the princess lay her guilt something showed its face that never had before
Fate walked up the castle steps, stopped to look at me said, "Hey man, you look down."
I said, "My love just ran away." He said, "I saw that commin’…she’ll be back."
But it doesn’t even matter if she comes.
She Ain’t got no chance
To make up time she lost or think about the pain it caused
No Chance
To come back in my arms, to feel real soft and plush and warm
‘Cause it’s over. Well it’s your loss I hope Prince Charming comes
From the setting sun.
And that he works as hard
‘Cause I worked so hard
But never got the chance
To show you how I feel, with fluff and stuff I knew you’d steal
No chance
My heart away, but that’s OK, cause now it’s mine and I’m doing fine.
Since it’s over. The sorcerer has cast his spell on you.
On a dream come true.
But Gwenevere, fate is clear, your future’s here. But don’t shed no tear,
Cause it’s a fool who believes in you.
And takes the chance
At losing everything to kiss the lips of girls that sing
No chance
A sweeter song. Before too long, their melodies are sharp and out of key.
It’s me. Lord it’s me.
Don’t you see. It’s a lover’s creed.
That it don’t take chance
To lose the love you have. The stories told in many lands.
No chance
Is not the enemy, It’s what you do, with what you have.
