[Flame] 🔥 XTC - Ballet for a Rainy Day Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray
Pineapple wet heads
Watch new hairdos crumble
As scenery sunlight shifts away
[Chorus 1]
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
[Verse 2]
Apples and cherries
Are varnished in water
Despite, striped awnings bright dismay
I push my paintbrush
To conjure a new world
While this one is slowly washed away
[Chorus 2]
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
[Bridge]
When it rains, it rains
All the colors in my paintbox
When it rains, it rains
Tickets for the front row seats
Up on the rooftops
[Verse 3]
Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, dropped in diamond disarray
[Chorus 3]
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
Behind the curtain silver falling
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play
Dancing out there through my window
To the backdrop of a slow descending grey
