Duran Duran Cinderella Ride song lyrics

Cinderella, will you ride,

Will you ride with me?

Out into a smoke-filled night across the bridge of tears

Where children with their eyes sewn shut

Lay begging on the stones

And will we lead them from this dust?

Yes we will lead them home

All away, let it all away

Til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry

Now fall away, let it fall away

Til you're light as a bird in the air

Cinderella riding down on the ebbing tide

Down to mend the broken cups and their foolish pride

Solace to the angry mob,

Succor to the weak

Cinderella, cup of love, their pain is what you seek

All away, let it all away

Til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about

Fall away, let it fall away

Til you're light as a bird in the air

All away, let it all away

Til there's nothing to carry and nothing to worry about

Fall away, let it fall away

Til we're light as the birds in the air

Cinderella, queen of bells, Cinderella ride

Leave them with their fond farewells and their petty crimes

Leave behind the bloodlet clouds

Rise up on sparrow wings

And you shall be a queen of shrouds

The queen of helpless things
