David Byrne - Princess lyrics

rate me

I saw a princessshe's riding the irt

She raised her eyes and I thought that she looked at me

In a disco I thought that I'd seen her before

She got marriedand now she don't dance no more

She knew the doorman at every club in town

She'd go out dancing and stay out 'til early dawn

When they'd start throwing downshe would clear the floor

She got married and now she don't dance no more

The lights go outthe train is dark

Nobody movesnobody talks...

She keeps her body well-hidden beneath her clothes

Where will we go when the club's all closed?

In comes a business manand he pretends not to see

That there's a princessand she's riding the irt

In comes a homeless manshe gives some money to him

Now she gets offmust be the end of the line

Ooooooh-ho-hoshe's looking back at me

Ooooooh-ho-hoI thought she didn't see

Ooooooh-ho-howe used to walk that walk

Ooooooh-ho-howe used to talk that talk
