Hard Edges - Chris Knight[00:00:00]
Lisa used to love to dance[00:00:32]
Ever since she was ten years old[00:00:35]
Her bare feet raising dust on a yard[00:00:39]
Where the grass wouldn't grow[00:00:44]
Slowly spinning round and round[00:00:47]
To the music playing in her head[00:00:50]
Late at night it could almost drown out[00:00:54]
The whiskey on her old man's breath[00:00:58]
The wrecking yards and dingy bars[00:01:01]
And abandoned factories[00:01:04]
But down among the jagged souls[00:01:08]
A ballerina sways unseen[00:01:12]
Hard edges hide a tender heart[00:01:20]
Silent as a midnight prayer[00:01:28]
Hard edges hide the sweetest part[00:01:35]
Till you'd never know it's there[00:01:43]
Lisa's in a club downtown[00:02:19]
Where the neon burns till dawn[00:02:23]
She calls herself Tina now[00:02:27]
But she dances to the same old songs[00:02:29]
Slowly spinning round and round[00:02:34]
In the smoke and the smell of rye[00:02:38]
She takes off all her clothes[00:02:42]
So they don't see down in her eyes[00:02:44]
The scarlet rouge and blue tattoos[00:02:49]
Are only painted on[00:02:52]
But underneath the dark drumbeat[00:02:56]
A ballerina dances on[00:03:00]
Hard edges hide a tender heart[00:03:08]
Silent as a midnight prayer[00:03:16]
Hard edges hide the sweetest part[00:03:23]
Till you never know it's there[00:03:31]
