Hard Edges |
| Lisa used to love to dance |
| Ever since she was ten years old |
| Her bare feet raising dust on a yard |
| Where the grass wouldn’t grow |
| Slowly spinning round and round |
| To the music playing in her head |
| Late at night it could almost drown out |
| The whiskey on her old man’s breath |
| The wrecking yards and dingy bars |
| And abandoned factories |
| But down among the jagged souls |
| A ballerina sways unseen |
| Hard edges hide a tender heart |
| Silent as a midnight prayer |
| Hard edges hide the sweetest part |
| Till you’d never know it’s there |
| Lisa’s in a club downtown |
| Where the neon burns till dawn |
| She calls herself Tina now |
| But she dances to the same old songs |
| Slowly spinning round and round |
| In the smoke and the smell of rye |
| She takes off all her clothes |
| So they don’t see down in her eyes |
| The scarlet rouge and blue tattoos |
| Are only painted on |
| But underneath the dark drumbeat |
| A ballerina dances on |
| Hard edges hide a tender heart |
| Silent as a midnight prayer |
| Hard edges hide the sweetest part |
| Till you never know it’s there |
