Ballet for a Rainy Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Orange and lemon
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray
Pineapple wet heads
Watch new hairdos crumble
As scenery sunlight shifts away

[Chorus]
Ballet for a rainy day
Silent film of melting miracle play

[Verse 2]
Apples and cherries (Apples and cherries)
Are varnished in water
Despite, striped awnings bright dismay
I push my paintbrush (I push my paintbrush)
To conjure a new world
While this one is slowly washed away

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
Orange and lemon (Apples and cherries)
Raincoats roll and tumble
Together, dropped in diamond disarray

[Chorus]
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
