Fairy tale

Well I might as well wear a dress made of glass

Or borrow the emperor's new wardrobe

Taking on a new name and not telling a soul

Simply won't mean that you won't know

I could wear a mask, but I'd lose a shoe

and you know how I'm keen on my balance

You'd simply show up far too early for tea

if I were to run off like Alice

If I'd pick an apple that'd put me to sleep

You'd know beforehand and you'd stop me

If I'd wear the cloak of old death himself

You'd still somehow stumble upon me

There is no way I could hide in a home

Made of bricks, of wood, or straw

I couldn't pull off what the wolf tried to do

Because you're like the mirror on stepmother's wall

Something about this is awesome. Perhaps it's the references to the well-known fairy tales, or maybe it's the words and theme you used.
Oh, and I'm sort of wondering, if the first line refers that the narrator is a girl, why is she wearing a male clothes on the second (Emperor)?
You know, just wondering.
But this is really lovely.
