Lady In White

We need to stand up better against competition

The manager said and nodded to himself

Then he pointed at her

You understand that, right?

The girl didn't reply, she continued to stare down at the ground

Well, anyway, the manager continued

I've decided to do the whole show without safety nets

You know, I'd like to give the audience a true authentic experience

I want them to be scared, to be afraid, and to actually fear that something will happen

Nobody else in this business does it without nets, we will be alone, and we

Will beat all our opponents

We will have the best show in the world

The manager held out his arms, cocked his head and smiled

I've never done it without...

Ah, come on, the manager cut her off

He did a dismissive gesture

You never fall, you can do it

You will do it, don't you want to be part of the best show in the world?

Yes, she said and took a deep breath

That's the attitude, that's the spirit, baby

The spotlight on her naked neck

The crew removing the safety nets

And mumblings from the seats beneath

All makes her tremble with fear

High above the solid ground

She hesitates but she takes the leap

In unison the crowd inhale

As she leaves the unsafe ledge

Don't even dare to think

Don't even dare to think one thought

Across the tent from side to side

Above their heads like a bouncing ball

Nothing in her act reveals

How she actually feels

She sets up a fictive net

Preparing for the final step

She shuts her eyes and leaves the bar

He audience cheer

Don't even dare to think

Don't even dare...

There's an angel up in the sky

The lady in white, they say she can fly

She floats around, she moves with grace

A glowing light, a shining star in space
