Lyrics

She dances ballet
In New York City
Critics say that she’s great
Audience says that she’s pretty
Celebrate her with our open arms
While we fill up our empty hearts
10 million colors that resolve in perfect dark

Up on the stage the lights slowly fade
But she’ll never stop
Turning love into rage
‘Til her figure it fades into naught

She dances ballet
With perfect posture
Boston to LA
Envy of wives and their daughters
With every movement we must contemplate
A perfect body or poetic fate
It’s not a choice that we should ever have to make

Up on the stage the lights slowly fade
But she’ll never stop
Turning love into rage
‘Til her figure it fades into naught
While thrashing about
With beauty inside and out
See it’s no mistake
That your heart will break

She dances ballet
In New York City
Signs up to play
Both Athena and kitty
From simple villains who would curse the mud
To current lovers who just won’t give up
Plots in stories that are open and they’re shut

Up on the stage the lights slowly fade
But she’ll never stop
Turning love into rage
‘Til her figure it fades into naught
While thrashing about
With beauty inside and out
See there’s no mistake
That your heart will break
