ย
Lisa used to love to dance
Ever since she was ten years old
Her bare feet raising dust, on a yard
Where the grass wouldn't grow
ย
Slowly spinning round and round
To the music playing in her head
Late at night it could almost drown out
The whiskey on her old man's breath
ย
The wrecking yards and dingy bars
And abandoned factories
But down among the jagged souls
A ballerina sways unseen
ย
Hard edges hide, a tender heart
Silent, as a midnight prayer
Hard edges hide, the sweetest part
'Till you'd never know' it's there
ย
Lisa's in a club downtown
Where the neon burns till dawn
She calls herself Tina now
But she, dances to the same old songs
ย
Slowly spinning round and round
In the smoke and the smell of rye
She takes off all her clothes
So they, don't see down in her eyes
ย
The scarlet rouge and blue tattoos
Are only painted on
But underneath the dark drumbeat
A ballerina dances on, on and on
ย
Hard edges hide, a tender heart
Silent, as a midnight prayer
Hard edges hide, the sweetest part
'Till you'd never know' it's there
ย
Hard edges hide, a tender heart
'Till you'd never know' it's there
