Peter Barakan - Ballet lyrics

[Verse 1] Turning faded pages A hint of calla She was refugee From across the wall Acting out a story Written in air Illicit in the darkness Silent applause [Chorus] Dancing with sadness Just for herself Lost in the motion A mime with no end [Verse 2] Shadows hold jealous eyes Icy in May Points on a silhouette Slow fading shoes [Chorus] Dancing with sadness Just for herself Lost in the motion A mime with no end [Interlude] Je suis fatiguée du même vieux chaos J'en suis malade Il devrait y avoir une sortie à ce cul-de-sac [Verse 1] Acting out a story Written in air Illicit in the darkness Silent applause [Chorus] Dancing with sadness Just for herself Lost in the motion A mime with no end
