Little pink dress, hanging by her knees   Just overhead on the old trapeze   In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round   One of these nights the old girl's going down   Hallelujah, the old girl's going down      She started with us on the back of a horse   Just seventeen and already divorced   She took to the air with the greatest of ease   Like she was born to be gliding on the old trapeze      Some people don't care if they live or they die   Some people want to know what it feels like to fly   Gather their courage and they give it a try      Some guy broke her heart and how her heart it did ache   So she went to the tent of the lady of the snakes   Who gave her a potion and she drank it in   After that her heart never ached again   After that her heart never ached again      Some poeple don't care if they live or they die   Some people want to know what it feels like to fly   Gather their courage and they give it a try   Fall under the wheels of a time goin' by      Little pink dress, hanging by her knees   Just overhead on the old trapeze   In the old tent tonight, spotlight going round   One of these nights the old girl's going down   One of these nights the old girl's going down   One of these nights the old girl's going down   One of these nights the old girl's going down   Halle- Halle- Halle-   Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah   Hallelujah
