Lyrics
Belle of the Ball
by C.J. Ueberall
You wore clothes from Prada and Gucci
only the latest fashion would do
everything was unique and seldom worn twice
Money meant nothing to you
Chorus:
But now you have fallen from grace
Your name tarnished beyond repair
Your life a meaningless waste
You polish wires for a meal and a dime
And you dream of before of a much better time
when you were the Belle of the Ball
Back when you had it all
Your jewelry was made of diamonds and gold
You sneered at silver, copper and brass
Every piece was handmade, precious, refined
There was platinum stuck up your ass
Chorus
If you just hadn't laughed at the fairies
If you only hadn't angered that witch
Oh, you thought that your life would always be grand
But you learned that fate is a bitch
Chorus
For now you have fallen from grace
Your name tarnished beyond repair
Your life a meaningless waste
You polish wires for a meal and a dime
And you dream of before of a much better time
when you were the Belle of the Ball
Back when you had it all
When you were the Belle of the Ball
