On the wire (+keys)

Can you put the pieces back together
can you fix the porcelain
a little glue might make it better
a broken heart to mend again.
and she's trying to smile
she's been through the fire
Ballerina on the wire.

Transluscent, shining, ever pale
will she live to tell the tale
and her eyes are cobalt blue
but will they, will they ever look at you
Ballerina on the wire.

Thoughts flutter around her
and her gaze still far away
just before they drift away
ah, who can say.
Ballerina on the wire.

Transluscent, shining, ever pale
will she live to tell the tale
and her eyes are cobalt blue
but will they, will they ever look at you
(solo)

and her thoughts flutter around her
and her gaze still far away
just before they drift away
ah, who can say.
Ballerina on the wire


Transluscent, shining, ever pale
will she live to tell the tale
transluscent, shining, ever pale
will she live to tell the tale
and her eyes are cobalt blue
but will they, will they ever look at you.
