She works at a bar, but she's too young to have a drink
Paying for 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-oh-oh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (hmm)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (hmm)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (hmm)
As she moves adagio
Whoa-oh-oh
She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiest days 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
Fetishised by every man in town
Roses fill the opera (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Hypnotized but when the curtain falls
She's only safe in the applause
(Whoa-oh-oh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (hmm)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (hmm)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (hmm)
As she moves adagio
Whoa-oh-oh
She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiest days with the smile on her face
Her memory stained by the songs on replay
