Testo Insect ballet Tori Amos

Insect ballet

On a balmy night
In a dawn-lit forest
Everywhere you'll find
Chirping and singing
As the damselflies and the dragonflies take to the sky

Flying up and down
Flying backwards and forward
At forty-five miles per hour
Go the damselflies and the dragonflies

So it seems
Synchronicity
A company of bugs dancing
As the damselflies and the dragonflies take to the sky

Through a marshy haze
Beetles make
Make their way to a gathering
As the eagles fly and the hawks spy above them
With a jump
Hoppers hop
Crickets chirp
Calling all to the stage
And the damselflies and the dragonflies make their way

Calling, calling
Calling, calling
Calling all dancing bugs to the stage

Here we are
Here we are
Slide

Here we are, here we are
At the Insect Ballet

Here we are, here we are
Slide

Plié
Here we are
At the Insect Ballet

Half a turn
To glide
To throw
Step of the cat
Pas de chat

Here we are, here we are
Slide

Here we are, here we are
At the Insect Ballet

Half a turn
To glide
To throw
Step of the cat
Pas de chat

Here we are, here we are
Slide
Scissor-like
To spring
To change
At the Insect Ballet

Plié
Here we are
At the Insect Ballet

Half a turn
To glide
To throw
Step of the cat
Pas de chat

Here we are, here we are
Slide

Here we are, here we are
At the Insect Ballet

Here we are, here we are
The Insect Ballet
