Too poor to buy a dress at a thrift stores, she considers stealing it.

lyrics

Among all the aisles
Of gently worn clothing
She could never afford
For just twenty dollars
Can she buy herself some beauty?

There on the hanger
Is the dress
She sees herself dancing
And no-one will know
From pink tag to princess
For one evening only

She smiles to herself
As she’s trying it on
Thinks what the hell have I ever done wrong
Looks in the mirror
The reflection never lies
Today play pretend
And tomorrow you’re poor
She puts on the clothes she was wearing before
Decides that she’s worth it and walks right out the door


Then when she gets home
Makes her tea
Sits at the table all alone
Put on the dress
And she dances and she dances
No-one to see her
Fewer to care
Nobody knows that she’s even there


Dance to remember
Dance to forget
Dance for the memories you haven’t made yet
Dance cos you don’t know what else there is to do
So she steals to be happy
And begs to survive
Isn’t there more than just being alive
Than holes in your pocket and crying every night

In dreams she holds roses and hopes life’s not hopeless
Awake she can see where the end of the rope is
For a few pennies more she’ll tell you her life story
Today just repeats yesterday’s sad defeats
If she could just stand she’d get swept off her feet
By the time and the tide and the flood
That waits for no-one
