Xtc - Ballet For A Rainy Day lyrics

Raincoats roll and tumble

Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray

Pineapple wet heads

Watch new hairdos crumble

As scenery sunlight shifts away

Ballet for a rainy day

Silent film of melting miracle play

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

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

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

Orange and lemon

Raincoats roll and tumble

apples and cherries

Together, dropped in diamond disarray

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
