The Tiger Lillies - Histoire de Kay lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Histoire de Kay lyrics]
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
