PRINCE - segue (II) lyrics

rate me

Hello.

Vanessa?

I'm not recording this time.

So how are you?

How are u?

Fine.

Fine.

Excuse me, but ah, what's up with your voice?

It's a special phone, a tone box

A tongue box. Oh, l-like in the movie Barbarella.

Yeah. Gives me courage, u know

Like a veil I can hide behind

It talks at, around, through her

Ok, so why are you giving me an interview

Because I want u...

Pardon me?

To tell the truth

Oh - well, I will if you will.

For example, the first song of your opera

Ah, the opera

Why don't you tell me your real name.

My name is Victor

That is not the truth and you know it.

How old are you?

I'm into my 5th soul now so that makes me three hundred...

Why do you pretend to be a maze?

... and twenty. I'm amazed at your beauty.

I saw you on television.

320 hmm, don't sweat it honey, I'm too young for you.

Although rumor has it that the crown princess of Cairo

is now a member of the NPG.

Are you there?

Ahem...

Do you know that the princess is 16 years old?

How 'bout this for a story. "320 year old robs the cradle"

What a scandal.

Scandal...

You know, if you don't give me the real story,

I'll have to make one up of my own.

So why don't you tell me the truth - the truth - the truth

Why don't you tell me the truth?
