[Cass McCombs - Prima Donna lyrics]
Prima Donna dodged a call from The Investor
Were you struck dumb? Were you, Prima Donna?
Now struck dumb
The next call she, uh, picked up
Aha, you’re not so lucky
Are you, Prima Donna?
The Investor came through loud and clear
She was dumb, not deaf
Foul speech hit her ear the poor Prima Donna
She’s met this man before and
Seen how he eats he made no sense
His voice throbbed endlessly
To our Prima Donna
She phonetically built a sentence
"Will this affect my record?"
"It might, " the Investor menaced
The Investor menaced
Tell me, what good could possibly come?
He gives her the stage
She deserves to perform on
And isn’t it this stinking world
That likes to see beauty suffer?
Well, isn’t it? Either way, too bad for her
And she went out that night
And blew the lid off the joint
Like an investment that never disappoints
The Prima Donna
Were you struck dumb? Were you, Prima Donna?
Now struck dumb
The next call she, uh, picked up
Aha, you’re not so lucky
Are you, Prima Donna?
The Investor came through loud and clear
She was dumb, not deaf
Foul speech hit her ear the poor Prima Donna
She’s met this man before and
Seen how he eats he made no sense
His voice throbbed endlessly
To our Prima Donna
She phonetically built a sentence
"Will this affect my record?"
"It might, " the Investor menaced
The Investor menaced
Tell me, what good could possibly come?
He gives her the stage
She deserves to perform on
And isn’t it this stinking world
That likes to see beauty suffer?
Well, isn’t it? Either way, too bad for her
And she went out that night
And blew the lid off the joint
Like an investment that never disappoints
The Prima Donna
