I'm almost positive that he says "grab it, catch it" instead of "crowd will catch you." It's a little mumbled on the album version, but on the Hollywood Bowl version it's clearly that.
It also fits a little better in context: "Grab it, catch it, fly it, sigh it."
@WeezeRing Ballerina is my beyond absolute favorite Van Morrison song, it just takes me there. I agree with you, I've been singing "grab it, catch it" for over 20 years. Don't think I'm changing now. (Lol, ketchup, to true) I ended up here because I'm making some mixed media art for my bedroom that features these lyrics. No actual ballerinas or ballet things in project, lyrics and paint and texture paste. This and Streets of Arklow are my always songs.

@WeezeRing Agreed
@WeezeRing Agreed
@WeezeRing And makes a bit more sense than "Grab the ketchup" which is what I thought he was saying. Poets, go figure, I thought.
