Lyrics

[00:24.53] It takes ten years just to get
[00:29.29] Your stinking leg up
[00:34.60] Then five more to make it
[00:39.96] Not look like shit
[00:45.38] Soviet children form a crowd
[00:48.85] Sized and tested
[00:50.45] Who will be a star
[00:55.76] Hero of passion of whom they'll say
[00:59.02] She took her final breath in grand plie
[01:08.85] O! My mother!
[01:10.38] Russian Ballerina!
[01:12.81] You were a swan
[01:13.74] But now you're swimming in the Carribean
[01:19.20] O! My mother!
[01:20.68] Russian Ballerina!
[01:23.01] Nobody knows how you can live without the love of your life
[01:29.73] Everybody's asking me
[01:34.90] Where is Mary?
[01:39.95] I don't see her at the theatre
[01:45.09] Or the parties
[01:49.64] That's right, because
[01:51.81] She's carving bamboo
[01:54.09] Far from the artistic millieu
[02:00.74] Never thought she'd live without
[02:04.25] Allegiance to a life of art
[02:14.08] Oh! My mother! Russian ballerina!
[02:17.87] You were a swan but now you're swimming in the Carribean
[02:24.39] Oh! My mother! Russian ballerina!
[02:28.12] Nobody knows how you can live without the love of your life
[02:34.87] La la la,la la la la la (x4)
[03:02.74] Life changes
[03:04.23] One day its eggshells and bread
[03:05.91] Married to an intellect
[03:07.62] The next you drive a corvette
[03:12.89] Things change
[03:14.43] You live your life for the stage
[03:16.18] Til your kidney floats away
[03:17.87] Thrown in a car accident
[03:23.15] A time for art
[03:24.49] A time for living
[03:26.48] Sometimes the two can be conflicting
[03:33.06] And mama I'll meet you at Caribana
[03:36.66] Together we're the highest form of art
[03:46.65] Oh! My mother!
[03:48.12] Russian Ballerina!
[03:50.40] You were a swan but now you're swimming in the Caribbean
[03:56.95] Oh! My mother!
[03:58.41] Russian Ballerina!
[04:00.69] Nobody knows how you can live without the love of your life
[04:07.31] Oh! My mother!
[04:08.85] Russian Ballerina!
[04:10.94] Too bad your priuettes now look almost as bad as mine
[04:17.50] Oh! My mother!
[04:19.04] Russian Ballerina!
[04:21.34] Who needs that bullshit we can drink at the casino all night
[04:26.76] (Everybody now!)
[04:28.21] La la la,la la la la la
