Testo di The Dead Ballet

No one taught her how to Swim across the lake She shored up wet, cold and naked Dead weeds across her face And decomposed Her eyes were swollen closed When her eyes had opened She swallowed all the world Everything that was in her Escaped in taffeta curls Sleepwalking in the day Composing a dead ballet Stealing the moonbeams, the starling of the night Floats like a fairy, twirling with delight Anathema on evil But watching the good girls be bad She leaves the old man hanging Like silent Sheherazade She drinks champagne In the desert rain Stealing the moonbeams, the starling of the night Moves like a fairy, twirling with delight Conquered the starlight by launching satellites Choreographing the dead ballet at dizzy heights
