Eleanor Lyrics

Hey there Eleanor

You've really got your hands full

Trying to meet demands while

You tell yourself things will work out

And so far things seem safe and sound

Living your new life

Where reading between lines

Never went anywhere past subtle

But this time there was trouble 'cause

You saw things you shouldn't have seen

And said things without knowing what it means

And now you've been thrown off course

Now you think you know so much more

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

You have caused quite a stir

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

Hey now Eleanor

With your ankles wrapped in satin

What you've had your hand in is

Dangerous and slandering

Do you know what I'm asking?

What happens

When you surround yourself with madness?

Even after years of practice you could still lose you're

Balancing on barbed wire

If you fall into wildfires if you step on

Broken glass in your feet

Blackened ash on your knees

And blood stained slippers hanging from your fingers

I know you're no beginner but failure can linger

Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

You have caused quite the storm

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor oooooh

Come now Eleanor

Your studio is empty so now could you lend me a helping hand?

'Cause there are problems that are far more grand

Than your little ballerinas

Your silent sad arenas

Built for what could've been

Built for what did not begin

And now you have got to pick yourself up

'Cause the water's getting hot and I won't let you give up

So walk on those tip toes Eleanor

So dance for us will ya

Eleanor?

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

You have started quite the storm

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor oooooh

Well come on Eleanor

You have an agency you have a crew

You have people who believe in you and

You're throwing it all away

Just to pirouette

On some silly little stage

'Cause things got a little too risky and now

You're feeling a little tipsy

After you told yourself

That the answer's in the whiskey

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

You were lost for what it's worth

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor

Oh Eleanor oooooh

Aah aah

Aaaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaaah

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Talk to me Eleanor

You can tell me anything

Talk to me Eleanor

'Cause we don't know a single thing

Talk to me Eleanor

Talk now come on darling

Talk to me Eleanor

Come on darling

Eleanor

Come on darling

Talk to me Eleanor

Well hang on Eleanor

Don't throw your life away or should I say jeté?

'Cause everything's about everything revolves around

That distraction you call ballet

We need you we want you

We know you don't like what you've been through

But look at the big picture

Not everyone can be winners

So come on out

We're so close

Don't stop now

Just one more fight then spin away

One more night then do as you may

Thanks Eleanor

Thank you Eleanor

Talk to me Eleanor

Come on darling

Talk to me

Come on darling

Come on darling
