Phoebe's P.O.V
This was it. We've been practicing for this performance all year. I shook my shoulders and tried to relax myself.
"Breath in, and breath out." Giovanna told me calmly. I looked up and smiled weakly at her. We were about to perform for all our classmates, I didn't know how she's wasn't nervous. I glanced at the third member of our band, Kasey. She was looking queasy, so I shifted over to her, and put my arm around her shoulders to comfort her.
" Ladies and gentlemen, here's what you've all be waiting for." Our prinicipal said pausing for effect, "Third Dimension!" The three of ran out smiling and waving at everyone. I peek around to find everyones supportive faces.
"What songs do we have planned?" I turn to ask Giovanna.
"We're going to cover A-Team by Ed Sheeran and Payphone by Maroon 5," She announced.
I look over to give kasey a reasuring smile, then she started.
White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
She stops and looks at me. I take a big breath.
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly!
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
Kasey and Giovanna harmonize with me as we sing the chorus. This was going pretty well.
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
Giovanna ginnings confidently and starts to sing and dance. Everyone laughs at her silliness.
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upperhand
Go mad for a couple of grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to die
We all catch our breath and finish together. The audience began to clap and cheer for us. It wasn't until now that I felt like my nerves were gone. I was really beginning to enjoy myself.
