I can walk on air
And make it look so easy
But you're unaware
I am defying gravity

It's a sad duet
I can't get free of it
In this pirouette
The steps are dancing me

So now

This is my last arabesque
I can't hold on
I did my best
I can't perfrom for your applause
Or be someone I never was
Soft good
But holding my breath
This is my last arabesque

It's all smoke and mirrors
And puling back my hair
It's all held so tight
That I am not really there

This is not my show
Even though it pleases you
So let the curtains close
There is nothing left to do

So now

This is my last arabesque
I can't hold on
I did my best
I can't perfrom for your applause
Or be someone I never was
Soft good
But holding my breath
This is my last arabesque
