The Tiger Lillies - Histoire de Kay lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Histoire de Kay lyrics]
One fateful day Kay’s mother took
Her into a building lobby
They took turns pinching and
Twisting her little body
They made her stand in positions
More and more bizarre
Then they made her repeat them daily at
A thing they called a barre
They put her on a diet
They said her wrists they did appal
And they made her wear a strange garment
A tutu it was called
She danced her first role as a
Friend of La Fille mal Gardee
After she'd been made to
Join a sinister group, the corps de ballet
The critics said of her performance
‘Better you don’t do’
In a fit of spite someone put ground glass
Ground glass in her toeshoes
She took the elastics from her ballet things
Stitched them together and hanged
Herself in the wings
Her into a building lobby
They took turns pinching and
Twisting her little body
They made her stand in positions
More and more bizarre
Then they made her repeat them daily at
A thing they called a barre
They put her on a diet
They said her wrists they did appal
And they made her wear a strange garment
A tutu it was called
She danced her first role as a
Friend of La Fille mal Gardee
After she'd been made to
Join a sinister group, the corps de ballet
The critics said of her performance
‘Better you don’t do’
In a fit of spite someone put ground glass
Ground glass in her toeshoes
She took the elastics from her ballet things
Stitched them together and hanged
Herself in the wings
