Lyrics Marc Almond

Marc Almond

Nijinsky Heart

I need to express my heart

And face my destiny

There's an agile dancer

Waiting inside of me

At the supermarket

I'd spin down the isle

To pirouette and grand jeté with

Style

Won't you help me

Give me a chance

To be a god of dance

And let this firebird go

And set free

My Nijinsky heart

I'd bloom like an exotic flower

As I reach out for the light

Illuminated wings and stars

Bursting out from inside

The orchestration swells

The strings ascend and so do I

I'm a force of nature

From a spark of fire

But each time I try to dance

I stumble and fall

Help me to co-ordinate

I can't dance at all

Please show me

My Nijinsky heart...
