In the Fabric Ballroom Lyrics by Ziz Adler

Song to the Sun

2022

[Verse]
In the fabric ballroom
Music didn’t have a chance
Muffled by the fabric walls
And when we tried to dance
Our shiny shoes were swallowed
By the billows of the floor
We took them off and left them by the door
[Verse]
A woman in viridian
Was standing near the band
A witch’s brew of scarlet
In the flute glass in her hand
Her eyes were glowing blankly
Like an early morning sky
Bright and empty in a stifling July
[Bridge]
A melody moves, electron fast
Through the room, wide and dark
Her thoughts are singed like fabric
By a spark
Dresses ripple with the walls
That ripple in the breeze
She speaks to please
She only speaks to please
[Verse]
In the fabric ballroom
In a green organza dress
She imagined liberation
Nothing less
She’d watch the walls dissolve like cotton candy
Sugar on the tongue
And take apart the frame on which they hung
[Bridge]
Someone told her once
She was afraid of sound and light
She knew she was afraid
And so she figured he was right
He wrapped her up in fabric
Very soft and very tight
So gently that she didn’t think to fight
[Verse]
In the fabric ballroom
Sound was muted, light was low
And everything so beautiful
She didn’t dare to go
But we could see her sighing
For the life that she would lose
In a ballroom where she couldn’t wear her shoes
[Outro]
In the fabric ballroom
In the fabric ballroom
In the fabric ballroom
