Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell - BALLERINA VALERIE lyrics

Down in the garden

Under a leaf, she was smoking her keef

And she was looking at stardom

Everything's bright as she draws on the pipe

And the bowl glows redder

And things look better

Mars is a ruby

Saturn is sapphire, it burns with a blue fire

Colors run through me

Loosen my thinking, they're flashing and blinking

And always changing, rearranging

Ballerina, Valerie now

Move me through your crimson dances

Terragan, a red bandana

Bring me down your silver trances

Down in the garden

Under an oak, he was drinking his Coke

And he was looking at stardom

Everything's bright as he draws on the pipe

And the bowl glows redder

And things go better with Coca-Cola
