I never asked to carry a gun
I always wanted to be a ballerina
I was as drafted as you
I spun round on one leg in the womb
I spun round on one leg in the womb
I lost my right leg in a battle we won
To stay paper thin I took apples for bread
To stay paper thin I took apples for bread
Or maybe I never had two
Or skipped meals to plié instead
Or skipped meals to plié instead
It's all the same now, isn't it? Some would ask why
Survive the inside of a fish...
Torture yourself for a wish?
Torture yourself for a wish?
To be burned alive on a whim?
You'll burn out; a spinster in slippers too tattered to spin
You'll burn out; a spinster in slippers too tattered to spin
Not me; the answer descends from above
So what if, in a way, they were right?
So what if, in a way, they were right?
I got one long last look at my love
This encore is love at first sight
This encore is love at first sight
