The Mannequin Ball

She lived on the 17th floor
Above an accessory store
She'd watch the sun rise and then fall
And dress for her mannequin ball

For every night at 12 o'clock
Her father would close up his shop
And visit his only true love
They'd dance all the night

And he looked in her eyes
Of porcelain ice,
And told her that he had to go
Over the moonlight,
Where your dreams cant be sold
And you never grow old

And after her love disappeared
The mannequin waited for years
She stood by the window alone
And wished for her love to come home

And although he never returned
No matter how long that she yearned
She could still here him whisper her name

And she danced all the same

And he looked in her eyes
Of porcelain ice,
And told her that he had to go
Over the moonlight,
Where your dreams cant be sold
And you never grow old

She was left on her own
Looking for love
Spent her time counting the stars

And the whole world will fall
For the Mannequin Ball
And the whole world will fall
For the Mannequin Ball
And the whole world will fall
For the Mannequin Ball
