Pretty Ballerina Lyrics - Eels

I had a date with a pretty ballerina 

Her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes 

I asked her for this dance and then she obliged me 

Was I surprised? Yeah 

Was I surprised? No not at all 

I called her yesterday it should have been tomorrow 

I could not keep the joy that was inside 

I begged for her to tell me if she really loved me 

Somewhere a mountain is moving 

Afraid it's moving without me

And when I wake on a dreary Sunday morning 

I open up my eyes to find there's rain 

And something strange within says 

"Go ahead and find her, just close your eyes, yeah 

Just close your eyes and she'll be there" 

She'll be there, she'll be there
