The Ballet Girl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She works at a bar But she's too young to have a drink Paying for her mother's alcohol And colored pills Never see her father But he taught her the ballet One night she packed her bags and ran away [Pre-Chorus] (ohh, ohh) Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm) Toes bleeding out on the floor (mhm) Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm) As she moves adagio (whoa, oh oh) [Chorus] She's beauty and grace She's floating on stage Her happiest days With a smile on her face Her memory stained By the songs on replay And now she's dancing alone [Post-Chorus] Ooh And now she's dancing alone [Verse 2] Fetishized by every man in town Roses fill the opera (encore, encore!) Hypnotized, but when the curtain falls She's only safe in the applause [Pre-Chorus] (ohh, ohh) Oh, now she's dancing alone (oh, oh, oh) Toes bleeding out on the floor (ooh) Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm) As she moves adagio (whoa, oh oh) [Chorus] She's beauty and grace She's floating on stage Her happiest days With a smile on her face Her memory stained By the songs on replay And now she's dancing alone [Post-Chorus] Ooh And now she's dancing alone [Bridge] (ohh, ohh) Oh, now she's dancing alone (oh, oh, oh) Toes bleeding out on the floor (ooh) Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm) As she moves adagio (whoa, oh oh) [Chorus] She's beauty and grace She's floating on stage Her happiest days With a smile on her face Her memory stained By the songs on replay And now she's dancing alone [Post-Chorus] Ooh And now she's dancing alone (ooh)
