lyrics

Take off your coat ballerina and we can go the distance
and dance into the light
I've made another t.v dinner just like the one that you fell for on that first misty night

I'll do what I can here in my hard shell where nobody can tell that I need you
In the mushroom cloud that's pulling my heart down when you play for me and you dance in front of that mirror just like a ballerina

You said that nightmares were just for dreamers
I didn't think it meant us, I guess I'll put up with them all
I'll unlace that silky new dress, you heart in that blue dress doesn't feel so cold

In the morning when I pick up your bones
That's the only time that I feel alone
In the morning I will brush out your hair
Oh please stay with me my love tonight
and we can dance thru the dark and into the light
