She works at a bar
But she's too young to have a drink
Paying for her mother's alcohol
And colored pills
Never see her father
But he taught her the ballet
One night she packed her bags and ran away

(Ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (mhm)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves, adagio (whoa, oh, oh)

She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiest days
With a smile on her face
Her memory stained
By the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone

Ooh, and now she's dancing alone

Fetishised by every man in town
Roses fill the opera (oh, oh, oh)
Hypnotized when the curtain falls
She’s always safe in the applause

(Ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (oh, oh, oh)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (ooh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves, adagio (whoa, oh, oh)

She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiest days
With a smile on her face
Her memory stained
By the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone

Ooh, and now she's dancing alone

(Ohh, ohh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (oh, oh, oh)
Toes bleeding out on the floor (ooh)
Oh, now she's dancing alone (mhm)
As she moves, adagio (whoa, oh, oh)

She's beauty and grace
She's floating on stage
Her happiest days
With a smile on her face
Her memory stained
By the songs on replay
And now she's dancing alone

Ooh, and now she's dancing alone (ooh)
