Ballerina you've been good to me
Can see no wicked in your eyes
Hallelujah you're a masterpiece
I'm just a suitcase in the sky
But it was white trees and blue skies and baggie clothes
Hide faces, voices nobody knows
Run high don't run fast because that's too slow
I've been too obsessed with all my clothes
Hold on to ones you don't think you need
And have faith and have fun but brush your teeth
I've been too obsessed with all my clothes
Hide faces, voices nobody knows
Ballerina you're a dancing queen
I've known the truth but I still lie
Alma mater you've been underneath
All the little things I like
But it was white trees and blue skies and baggie clothes
Hide faces, voices nobody knows
Run high don't run fast because that's too slow
I've been too obsessed with all my clothes
Hold on to ones you don't think you need
And have faith and have fun but brush your teeth
I've been too obsessed with all my clothes
Hide faces, voices nobody knows
And I laugh I have fun but I still cry
You open your mouth while you close your eyes
Stay safe from ways everybody drives
Let hope take the blame while you risk your life
Believe things you know you will never see
Because you say things you know you will never mean
Got lost in all social niceties
So don't be too obsessed with all your clothes
Ballerina you've been good to me
It's time to reach straight for the skies
But I'll always miss you
