Trapeze

Lyrics

Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
 Just overhead on the old trapeze
 In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
 ♪
 One of these nights the old girl's going down
 Hallelujah, the old girl's going down
 ♪
 She started with us on the back of a horse
 Just seventeen and already divorced
 She took to the air with the greatest of ease
 ♪
 Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze
 ♪
 Some people don't care if they live or they die
 Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
 They gather their courage and they give it a try
 ♪
 Some guy broke her heart and now her heart it did ache
 So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes
 Who gave her a potion and she drank it in
 ♪
 After that her heart never ached again
 After that her heart never ached again
 ♪
 Some poeple don't care if they live or they die
 Some people want to know what it feels like to fly
 Gather their courage and they give it a try
 Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by
 ♪
 Little pink dress, hanging by her knees
 Just overhead on the old trapeze
 In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round
 One of these nights the old girl's going down, yeah
 One of these nights the old girl's going down, yeah
 One of these nights the old girl's going down, oh
 One of these nights the old girl's going down
 Halle- halle- halle-
 Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
 Hallelujah
