She works at a bar
but she's too young
to have a drink
Paying dor 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
Oh now she's dancing alone
mm-mh
toes bleeding out on the floor
mm-mh
Oh now she's dancing alone
mm-mh
as she moves adagio
Whoa oh oh
She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiness ends
with the smile on her face
Her memory stained
by the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone
And now she's dancing alone
Fetishized
by every man in town
Roses fill the opera
Hypnotized
but when the curtain falls
She's only safe
in the applause
Oh now she's dancing alone
mm-mh
toes bleeding out on the floor
mm-mh
Oh now she's dancing alone
mm-mh
as she moves adagio
Whoa oh oh
She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiness ends
with the smile on her face
Her memory stained
by the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone
And now she's dancing alone
Oh now she's dancing alone
mm-mh
toes bleeding out on the floor
mm-mh
Oh now she's dancing alone
mm-mh
as she moves adagio
Whoa oh oh
She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiness ends
with the smile on her face
Her memory stained
by the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone
And now she's dancing alone
