Ballerina


Tippy toes Tippy toes Don't loss your grip Rows after rows Deeper than bones The whole burns faster than coal Melodies in my head That cannot erase the memory My white tutu now red No remedy Only the memory Your bottle going over my head Tippy toes Tippy toes Here you come I could not run Are you listening hon? I heard about the sparkling glitter Don't hit her Fly away fly away The tutu bird tutu bird Could not stop your tippy toes Tippy Toes Tippy Toes Don't spin too fast My head going around and around Unable to stop and grasp the shining light from up above Jump jump jump goes the tutu bird Fly away fly away Tippy Toes Tippy Toes Don't jump too high You might fall and break unbearable heights Broken inside Possibly already dead outside Tippy Toes Tippy Toes New shoes new ribbons There you go to prison There I go, there I go Here comes the tutu bird
