Spread your wings
Come on fly awhile
Straight to my arms
Little angel child
You know you only
Lonely twenty-two story block
And if somebody, not just anybody
Wanted to get close to you
For instance, me, baby
All you gotta do
Is ring a bell
Step right up, step right up
And step right up
Ballerina
Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sigh it, try it
Well, I may be wrong
But something deep in my heart tells me I'm right and I don't think so
You know I saw the writing on the wall
When you came up to me
Child, you were heading for a fall
But if it gets to you
And you feel like you just can't go on
All you gotta do
Is ring a bell
Step right up, and step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina
Stepping lightly
Alright, well it's getting late
Yes it is, yes it is
And this time I forget to slip into your slumber
The light is on the left side of your head
And I'm standing in your doorway
And I'm mumbling and I can't remember the last thing that ran through my head
Here come the man and he say, he say the show must go on
So all you gotta do
Is ring the bell
And step right up, and step right up
And step right up
Just like a ballerina, yeah, yeah
Crowd will catch you
Fly it, sight it, c'mon, die it, yeah
Just like a ballerina
Just like a just like a just like a ballerina
Get on up, get on up, keep a-moving on, little bit higher, baby
You know, you know, you know, get up baby
Alright, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on, a-keep on pushing
Stepping lightly
Just like a ballerina
Ooo-we baby, take off your shoes
Working on
Just like a ballerina

Dance, ballerina, dance
And do your pirouette in rhythm with your achin' heart
Dance, ballerina, dance
You mustn't once forget a dancer has to dance the part
Whirl, ballerina, whirl
And just ignore the chair that's empty in the second row
This is your moment, girl
Although he's not out there applauding as you steal the show
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance
Dance, dance!
Whirl ballerina
Once you said his love must wait its turn
You wanted fame instead
I guess that's your concern
We live and learn
And love is gone, ballerina, gone
So on with your career, you can't afford a backward glance
Dance on and on and on
A thousand people here have come to see the show
As 'round and 'round you go
So ballerina, dance

It seems you finally had to choose
I guess there was no other way
Between my love and satin shoes
I knew the words you'd have to say
It all began so long ago
That the memory's hardly clear
But when I seen you dance I know
Half your love I'll always share
Ballerina when you dance there's music
Colored lights illuminate your movement
Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile
Ballerina from the first I knew that
You would always have to dance I knew that
There would surely come a day when you would go
Baby I know...
Dance for me, I beg of you, dance for me
Dance for me, ballerina, dance for me
Ballerina when you dance there's music
Colored lights illuminate your movement
Crowded halls anticipate your gentle smile

Words and Music by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller
-as sung on 'The Diamonds Collection'-Stardust CD-1010
-charted by The Cheers at # 6 in 1955
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Well, he never washed his face and he never combed his hair
He had axle grease imbedded underneath his fingernails
On the muscle of his arm was a red tattoo
A picture of a heart saying 'Mother, I love you'
He had a pretty girlfriend by the name of Mary Lou
But he treated her just like he treated all the rest
And everybody pitied her and everybody knew
He loved that doggone motorcycle best
He wore black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
He had a hopped-up 'cicle that took off like a gun
That fool was the terror of Highway 101
Mary Lou, poor girl, she pleaded and she begged him not to leave
She said 'I've got a feeling if you ride tonight I'll grieve'
But her tears were shed in vain and her every word was lost
In the rumble of an engine and the smoke from his exhaust
: Then he took off like the Devil and there was fire in his eyes!! He
said 'I'll go a thousand miles before the sun can rise.' But he hit a screamin' diesel
that was California-bound' And when they cleared the wreckage, all
they found
Was his black denim trousers and motorcycle boots
And a black leather jacket with an eagle on the back
But they couldn't find the 'cicle that took off like a gun
And they never found the terror of High way 1 oh 1
[Andi Deris]
Once I saw your picture
After I was gone
Forgotten colors
Of the world where you're on
Misery was all around
But you did not see
You're living your life inside a dream
BALLERINA, I hear you cryin'
Ain't got nobody
Ain't got time for tryin'
BALLERINA, dancin' with fire
Ain't got no wishes
Just got one desire
I saw you dancin' in a road with no end
Dreams of tomorrow
But a child in your head
Agony was all around
But you did not see
You're just a part of memory
BALLERINA, I know you cryin'
Ain't got nobody
Ain't got time for tryin'
BALLERINA, dancin' with fire
Ain't got no wishes
Just got one desire
BALLERINA, BALLERINA
Dance your dreams
BALLERINA, dance your dreams
BALLERINA, look around
Misery is all around
Ballerine, ballerine
Tu auras vécu ta vie sans tes chaussons
Sans musique, ballerine
Entre la chambre et le salon, ballerine
Tu auras passé ta vie à tricoter
Un fil d'Ariane un peu mité
Ballerine, en sourdine
Tu n'auras dansé ta vie qu'un seul été
Taille fine, en bottines
Entraînée par ton cavalier
Dans un univers banlieusard
C'est dur de faire de grands écarts
Ballerine, ballerine
Tu auras dansé ta vie sabots pointus
Anonyme, ballerine
Au fil de l'eau du temps perdu
Le Lac des Cygnes a bu ta vie
D'Ophélie
Ballerine, sans vitrine
Tu te dis qu'au fond
C'était ça ton destin
Naphtaline et cuisine
Plutôt que les pointes sur Chopin
Au fond tu ne regrettes rien
Y a même des soirs où tu es bien
Ballerine, ma frangine
Certains soirs tu prends ta tête dans tes mains
Aspirine, mauvaise mine
Tu te couches et le docteur vient
Et le docteur il appelle ça
Crise de foie
Ballerine, sœur chagrine
Je me dis qu'au fond je te ressemble un peu
Ballerine, ma copine
Vu qu'on ne fait jamais ce qu'on veut
Autant faire croire aux malheureux
Que l'on est heureux
Alors danse en cadence
Mène-moi en vacances
Blue Rain, falling down on my window pane
But when you return there'll be a rainbow
After the blue, blue rain
And there's a blue star
Looking down asking where you are
But when you return there'll be a sunbeam
Hiding the blue, blue star
Skies will be much brighter than they were before
When you and love come strolling through the door
Then there'll be no more blue rain
Just the sound of my heart's refrain
Singing like a million little blue birds
Dance on, ballerina
Dance the night away
Romance on, ballerina
Give yourself today
We are so far apart
At each end of the rainbow
But you've stolen my heart
Now I believe in tomorrow
Turn 'round, ballerina
Turn yourself to me
I learn now this ballerina
Holds the golden key
No, you're never alone
Got your heart in my pocket
As you're walking on home
Wear my face in your locket
I remember the day you caught my eye
I had nothing to say, I let you pass by
Like two ships in the night
Sailing blind 'cross the waterways
I remember the day you caught my eye
I had nothing to say, I let you pass by
Like two ships in the night
Sailing blind 'cross the waterways
Dance on, ballerina
Dance the night away
Romance on, ballerina
Give yourself today
Dance on, ballerina
Dance the night away
Romance on, ballerina
Give yourself today
Dance on
I was out walking in your eyes
lines on my hands map the skies
we were just falling in deep sea
I’m afraid of you - and you of me
naked before you, I stand
this flesh is a line in the sand
your smile is my only true friend
(x2)
You said you'd call
And I beg you to do so
Maybe you don't wanna grow
To find all the things
To makes grown up cry
You surely wanna stay too high
(x2)
You said you'd call
And I beg you to do so
Maybe you don't wanna show
That tears have drawn your dreams
Just dive in your mind
And find all the treasures inside
(x2)
You said you'd call
And I beg you to do so
I cannot hang on any thought
I'm falling from an endless boat
I dive into the darkest sea
And sharks are dancing around me (x4)
(x2)
You said you'd call
I'll never feel the weight of your hands
Inside mine like diamonds
Lace so fine ballerina
Cupcake and my earthquake
Wakes me from a sleep that
Never comes are you breathing
Waiting for me
I didn't really want you
But I want you now
Was so foolish of me
To feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room
The lights went out
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
I didn't think I needed you
But I need you now
Was so empty in me
To feel you crashing down
Into the empty world
The music stops
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
You will always be mine
The room spins
Pull you from me
My body burns
Tell me of the rainbows
The colors that the rain throws
Ballerina dance softly
She knows when to come only
When she's called I'm slowly coming to
I didn't really want you
But I need you
Was so foolish of me
To feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room
The lights went out
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
I didn't think I wanted you
But I want you now
Was so empty in me
To feel you crashing down
Into the empty world
The music stops
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
You will always be mine
So, so sorry
Just come back for me now
So, so sorry
Just come back to me now
Oh soon
I didn't think I wanted you
But I want you now
It was so foolish of me
To feel you tumbling down
Into that empty room
The lights went out
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
I didn't think I needed you
But I need you now
Was so empty in me
To feel you tumbling down
Into the empty world
The lights went out
I want to rescue want to scream out loud
Cold, distant light...
In this stale instant I might
Believe I might be one with you
It seems it's all I ever do
This is pain, this hunger to be
More than I am but who I used to be
All I see in your sweltering gaze
Is all that will never be
"you surround me in a tower of gold
You gave me dreams to dream and helped them to unfold
You saved me from myself and freed me from the stone
You are the bluest ruin I have ever known.
You took these broken wings and taught them how to fly
You gave me dreams to dream and gave me reasons why
You made me believe in you, you made me all you home
You are the bluest ruin I have ever known"
Dark frozen stares...
Across the aching sea of neverwhere
Through the looking glass the sorrow swells
Her bold pronouncement and her tale to tell
This is the (there is no) easy way out
Through the Tower to the razor's shout
She spins the web around me and pulls me to my knees
She sets ablaze the Giving Tree and throws it to the sea
"you submerge me in your static gaze
You leave me burning in the shimmering haze
You are the one who leaves me clawing down alone
You are the bluest ruin I have ever known
You inspire me in ways you cannot see
And when I let go of my failings you'll be there to remind me
I'll drown in sorrow's wake, dragged down by the stone
Dusty scent in the room
Bewitched your heart
Fading smiles of your past
Blended on your child face
Somehow tricked and captured
In the cobwebs of the time that passed by
Ballerina, day and night
Drifting in black water...
For you the day starts with moonlight
Ballerina, who's scared of loneliness
Not love loaded with all that burden
The mists inside veiled your sight
Will someone break away
That damned curtain!
So that you might be able to see
What invaded your way home Ballerina!
All spiders or dragonflies?
You're lost in that water
As cold as your heart
Watch the reflections
Of your lines on the sky
Day & Night, this water absorbing
That dismal blackness from where?
From the fading day, this sleeping sky
Taevas sinetav ja hämar
Kuhugi on kadund kuu
Sulalumine on tänav
Akna all on raagus puu
Lume sisse pikad triibud
Teinud sinu soome kelk
Nukralt seljatoele liibud
Silmis äraolev helk
Pille - Riin Pille - Riin
Kohtume me täna siin
Õhtusinas laternate all

Sul on suvepäike põues
Kevad õhtu on su vend
Soovin et siinsamas õues
Riietaksid lahti end
Päästad mantli hõlmad valla
Kleidinööbid lahti eest
Tulvaveega rentslist alla
Häbelikkus kaob Su seest

Tead et tahan tulla ma
Sinu tuppa sinu voodi
Sinuga koos hullama
Tänasest on saanud eile
Triibulisse patja pead
Surumu ja tundub meile
Inimesed kõik on head

Sinisilmad lahti teed
Kuulatad kuis akna taga
Rõõmsalt vulisevad veed
Ära mulle silma tyki
Päikene va pudrusilm
Läbi väikse klaasityki
Roheline näib maailm
Pille - Riin Pille - Riin

Talk to her, she yearns for conversation. Arms crossed, foot tapping in frustration. She’s getting impatient, thinking, what’s gone on here? Take her hand and don’t let go. Spin her around like a ballerina. She always dreamed you had it in you. Let her rest her head on your chest. She longs to feel your heart beat. Don’t be alarmed if she cries. She loves you, your ballerina loves you. Don’t talk about fair, when you haven’t even been there. She doesn’t see right or wrong or reasons, excuses. She sees red and blue and now you and she wonders if she can forgive again. Take her hand and don’t let go. Spin her around like a ballerina. She always dreamed you had it in you. Let her rest her head on your chest. She longs to feel your heart beat. Don’t be alarmed if she cries. She loves you, your ballerina loves you. You’re a dad now, don’t let her down now. Always keep room for her. She’s still your baby girl. Just a little older, your ballerina needs you. Take her hand and don’t let go. Spin her around like a ballerina. She always dreamed you had it in you. Let her rest her head on your chest. She longs to feel your heart beat. Don’t be alarmed if she cries. She loves you, your ballerina loves you. She loves you, your ballerina loves you.
