Into another day
they open the box and play
watching me turning round and round
’til the music slows down and fades

i am a ballerine
dancing with silver strings
i should have never listened to his
promises for my dreams

hey son
no matter what they say
go far away
hey son
no matter what they say
run far away
my love

you dreamed of fame and gold
then you got strangely old
someday you will forget to listen
and everything i have told

it's time that i let you go
time that i let you know
i will be spinning round and round
till nothing is left to glow

hey son
no matter what they say
go far away
hey son
no matter what they say
run far away
my love

i was afraid to follow my way
i chose to compromise, was safer to stay
seemed so much easier but now i must pay
doing the same dance day after day
