| [00:07.86] |
Abandoned by all her admirers, |
| [00:14.79] |
Wild White Shadow Waltz |
| [00:20.92] |
Stands alone on a stair down the hall, |
| [00:27.78] |
Just one slip from a trip and a fall. |
| [00:35.10] |
In a cold morning, holding her lighter, |
| [00:42.06] |
Wan White Shadow Waltz |
| [00:48.66] |
|
| [00:49.72] |
Stirs, sputters, and stalls. |
| [00:57.09] |
Then wakes, wavers and walks |
| [01:01.47] |
Right through her prison walls. |
| [01:08.35] |
She says, "The doorbell is ringing. |
| [01:12.85] |
Go see who it is. |
| [01:19.17] |
Our little island's sinking into mist..." |
| [01:30.62] |
|
| [01:32.18] |
A day came. A night went. It lightened. |
| [01:38.06] |
An animal broke his way out, |
| [01:42.50] |
Moped through a scattering crowd, |
| [01:52.69] |
And crawled back to his circus shell. |
| [01:58.63] |
|
| [02:00.25] |
And circling the zoo's screaming clients |
| [02:05.93] |
|
| [02:07.11] |
Was White Shadow Waltz, |
| [02:14.80] |
Deaf to their torn breaths and calls. |
| [02:21.35] |
Wait, take a look closer... he's hardly moving at all. |
| [02:31.67] |
|
| [02:37.44] |
She says, "Someone is knocking, |
| [02:44.63] |
Go see who it is. |
| [02:51.06] |
Our little world is shaking... |
| [02:53.50] |
|
| [02:56.79] |
I guess our little world is breaking..." |
| [03:00.99] |
|
| [03:02.93] |
In the presence of all our despisers |
| [03:10.59] |
We'll falter and crawl to our bed. |
| [03:16.91] |
|
| [03:17.85] |
The world is a black shadow bled. |
| [03:24.41] |
And what is this tune in my head? |
| [03:30.63] |
She says: |
| [03:31.94] |
"It's just the white wind when it whimpers." |
| [03:39.31] |
"It's just the black rain when it squalls." |
| [03:45.52] |
"It's just white meat whistling a waltz." |
| [03:49.72] |
|
| [03:52.77] |
"It's just nine hands wiping a white shadow off of the walls." |
