Such a pretty face
with a body beneath
a tattered dress
Yesterday a new moon
wearing a paper smile
escaped with finesse
Chandeliers of mistaken dreams
illuminates a petty farce
Cascading moonbeams
hide behind 
a concrete mask
*dance oh pretty one
dance for me
beneath the moonlight
dance, be free*
Underneath a lace moon
wearing a concrete mask
dance in step
with meloncholy
while you laugh
