St. Vincent - Prince Johnny lyrics

rate me

Prince Johnny, you're kind but you're not simple

By now I think I know the difference

You wanna be a son of someone

Remember the time we went and snorted

That piece of the Berlin Wall that you'd extorted

And we had such a laugh of it, prostrate on my carpet

You traced the Andes with your index

And bragged when and where and who

You're gonna bed next

Always sons of someones

Always sons of someones

So you pray to all

To make you a real boy

So you pray to all

To make you a real boy

Prince Johnny, you're kind but do be careful

By now I know just when to stand clear

When all your friends and acolytes

Hold in court in bathroom stalls

When you pray to all

To make you a real boy

So you pray to all

To make you a real boy

But honey, don't mistake my affection

For another spit-a-penny-style redemption

‘Cause we're all sons of someones

We're all sons of someones

I'll mean more than I mean to you

I'll mean more than I meant to him

So I pray to all

To make me a real girl

So I pray to all

To make me a real girl

So I pray to all
