Ballerina Valerie (Live) Lyrics

Down in the garden

Under a leaf she was smoking her keef

And she was looking at stardom

Everything's bright as she draws on the pipe

And the bowl glows redder

And things look better

 

Mars is a ruby

Saturn is sapphire it burns with a blue fire

Colors run through me

Loosen my thinking they're flashing and blinking

And always changing rearranging

 

Ballerina Valerie now

Move me through your crimson dances

 

Terragan a red bandana

 

Bring me down your silver trances

 

Down in the garden

Under an oak he was drinking his Coke

And he was looking at stardom

Everything's bright as he draws on the pipe

And the bowl glows redder

 

 

And things go better with Coca-Cola
