Lyrics
You can ride high atop your pony
I know you won't fall...
'cause the whole thing's phoney.
You can fly swingin from your trapeze
Scaring all the people...
but you never scare me
Bella donna...
And we fight...for the northern star
No speed limit...this is the fast lane
It's just the way that it is here
And you say...I never thought it could
Bella donna...we fight...
for the northern star
And the lady's feeling
Like the moon that she loved
Don't you know that the stars are
A part of us
And the lady's feeling
Just like the moon that she loved
And you say...I never thought it could
Bella donna
Come in out of the darkness...
You are in love with...
And I'm ready to sail...
It's just a feeling...
Sort of captures your soul
Bella donna...
And the woman may be awestruck
And the woman may truly care
but the woman is so tired...
So the woman dissappears...
Come in out of the darkness...
Bella donna...my soul...
Don't change...baby please don't change
And you say...
and your face becomes thin
You never thought it could
Come in out of the darkness
Bella donna...
You are in love with
And I'm ready to sail
It's just a feeling
