New York City, on the 21st of October, 1938, 6 o’ clock in the morning, Dorothy Hale committed suicide by throwing herself from a very high window in the Hampshire House. In her memory, this Ritablo was executed by Frida Kahlo
Showgirl daydreams. She’s just a little bit hazy
And she’s coming down. I swear she’ll be here soon
Pretty baby. She’s a married lady
Colors {?} the flash of light comes through
Dorothy, tell us what’s on your mind
Dorothy, tell me what’s on your mind
Do you wanna know what it would feel like to fly?
‘Cause I promise you we could’ve been fine
Everything should’vе been fine
Ticket sales fall in our Dancе Hall
They don’t sing to her the way that they used to
“{?}” The unfamiliar phrase
She hears it every day
Trying hard to fight her way back through
She is lonely now. She is crying out
But she has never been that loud
She’s never been this scared
She’s quite unprepared
Dorothy, tell us what’s on your mind
Dorothy, tell me what’s on your mind
Do you wanna know what it would feel like to fly?
‘Cause I promise you we could’ve been fine
Everything should’ve been fine
Yellow roses in her hand
Dreams that didn’t go as planned
Every petal fell off one by one
Do you think she’d understand?
Yellow roses in her hand
Dreams that didn’t go as planned
Every petal fell off one by one
Do you think she’d understand?
Dorothy, tell us what’s on your mind
Dorothy, tell me what’s on your mind
You don’t wanna know what it’ll feel like to fly
‘Cause I promise you we could’ve been fine
Everything should’ve been fine
Dorothy, I know what’s on your mind
Dorothy, I know what was on your mind
You wanted to know what it would feel like to fly
But I promised you that we would be fine
Everything should’ve been fine
Everything was gonna be fine
