Roches - Pretty And High lyrics

(Words & Music by Margaret A Roche)<br />

<br />

She came on the stage<br />

In a dress like the sky<br />

She had painted a sunset<br />

Around her eyes<br />

And all of the people<br />

Were charmed and surprised<br />

At how pretty and high and shy she was<br />

Pretty and high and shy<br />

<br />

She at the window<br />

And the prince upon the bed<br />

They were for an hour<br />

Before he said<br />

If she had no place else<br />

She was welcome to stay<br />

But she'd better get back<br />

And she thanked him the same<br />

Leavin' him pretty and high and dry<br />

Pretty and high and dry<br />

<br />

The prince was confused<br />

So he asked the magician<br />

The magician arrived<br />

At the answer profound<br />

If she takes off her dress<br />

The sky will fall down<br />

Cause she's pretty and high and a lie<br />

Pretty and high and a lie<br />

<br />

I work at the circus<br />

And I sleep with the clown<br />

When I took off my dress<br />

The sky fell down<br />

If the sky falls down<br />

Then we play on the ground<br />

Cause I'm pretty and high and only partly a lie<br />

Pretty and high and only partly a lie<br />

Pretty and high and only partly a lie
