Prima Donna Ballerina
Always looking for a scene
For the glitter and the glamour
And all the blinkin’ cameras
It’s a hyper-active feeling
And nothing can relieve it
If you think you’re goin’ crazy
Then you’re probably goin’ crazy

Even though you got a lot
You think you still ain’t got enough
You know you’re never satisfied
And you hold that empty cup
Lookin’ for a handout
You want to be a standout
You never do let go
Even though

CHORUS:

Its’ over
This party’s over
Ballerina don’t you cry
Take your bow and say good bye
It’s over
This party’s over
Ballerina say good bye

All the fortune and the fame
It’s just a lonely game
You’re so worried and so keyed up
You never put your feet up
And it’s slippin through your hands
And you’ll never understand
There’s no ifs or ands or buts
Ballerina’s goin nuts

Prima donna ballerina
Always looking for a scene
Going off in all directions
And you never learned that lesson
That your mama tried to teach you
There’s nobody that can reach you
You’re always putting on a show
You don’t even know

CHORUS:

BRIDGE: Instrumental (G Am7 C G)

Prima donna ballerina
Always looking for a scene
For the glitter and the glamour
And all the blinkin cameras
They’re lightin up your name
And you hold on to the fame
And you never do let go
Even though

CHORUS:
