At The Ballet歌詞

Daddy always thought that he married beneath him
That’s what he said, that’s what he said
When he proposed he informed my mother
He was probably her very last chance

And though she was twenty-two
Though she was twenty-two
Though she was twenty-two
She married him

Life with my dad wasn’t ever a picnic
More like a “Come as you are.”
When I was five I remember my mother
Dug earrings out of the car
I knew they weren’t hers, But it wasn’t
Something you’d want to discuss

He wasn’t warm
Well, not to her
Well, not to us

But
Everything was beautiful at the ballet
Graceful men lift lovely girls in white
Yes
Everything was beautiful at ballet
Hey!
I was happy… at the ballet

That’s why I started class…

Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

To the voice like a metronome.
Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

It wasn’t paradise…
It wasn’t paradise…
It wasn’t paradise…
But it was home.

Mother always said I’d be very attractive
When I grew up, when I grew up.
“Diff’rent,” she said, “With a special something
And a very, very personal flair.”
And though I was eight or nine,
Though I was eight or nine,
Though I was eight or nine,
I hated her.
Now

“Diff’rent” is nice, but it sure isn’t pretty.
“Pretty” is what it’s about.
I never met anyone who was “diff’rent”
Who couldn’t figure that out
So beautiful I’d never lived to see.
But it was clear,
If not to her,
Well, then… to me…
That …

Everyone is beautiful at the ballet.
Every prince has got to have his swan.
Yes,
Everyone is beautiful at the ballet.

Hey!…
I was pretty…
At the ballet

Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

To the voice like a metronome.
Up a steep and very narrow stairway.

It wasn’t paradise…
It wasn’t paradise…
It wasn’t paradise…
But it was home.

I don’t know what they were for or against, really, except each other
I mean I was born to save their marriage
But when my father came to pick my mother up at the hospital
He said, “Well, I thought this was going to help but I guess it’s not…”
A few months later he left and he never came back

Anyway, I did have this fantastic fantasy life.
I used to dance around the living room
With my arms up like this
In my fantasy there was an Indian Chief…
And he’d say to me,
“Maggie, do you wanna dance?”
And I’d say, “Daddy, I would love to dance!”

But it was clear…
When he proposed…
That I was born to help their marriage and when
That’s what he said…
That’s what she said…
I used to dance around the living room…
He wasn’t warm…
Not to her…

It was an Indian chief and he’d say:
“Maggie, do you wanna dance?”
And I’d say, “Daddy, I would love to…”

Everything was beautiful at the ballet,
Raise your arms and someone’s always there.
Yes, everything was beautiful at the ballet,
At the ballet,
At the ballet!

Yes everything was beautiful at the ballet.

I was pretty…
I was happy…
“I would love to…”
At…the…ballet.
