Pirouette

on my toes, but not my game
a ballerina's pirouette
Louboutin stilettos
make a pretty silhouette

crystal clear the morning
the wine a burgundy color
switching back and forth
from one to the other

sleep, don't sleep
dream, don't dream
black and white to gray
this is how it seems

want, don't want
love, don't love
pack it all away
thoughts on a rainy day

on my toes, but not my game
a ballerina's pirouette
Louboutin stilettos
make a pretty silhouette
