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
