Ballerina - Van Morrison

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
