David Byrne - Princess lyrics
[David Byrne - Princess lyrics]
I saw a princess, she'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 married
And 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 down
She would clear the floor
She got married and now she
Don't dance no more
The lights go out, the train is dark
Nobody moves, nobody talks
She keeps her body well-hidden
Beneath her clothes
Where will we go when the club's all closed?
In comes a business man
And he pretends not to see
That there's a princess
And she's riding the IRT
In comes a homeless man
She gives some money to him
Now she gets off, must be the end of the line
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, she's looking back at me
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, I thought she didn't see
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, we used to walk that walk
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, we used to talk that talk
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 married
And 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 down
She would clear the floor
She got married and now she
Don't dance no more
The lights go out, the train is dark
Nobody moves, nobody talks
She keeps her body well-hidden
Beneath her clothes
Where will we go when the club's all closed?
In comes a business man
And he pretends not to see
That there's a princess
And she's riding the IRT
In comes a homeless man
She gives some money to him
Now she gets off, must be the end of the line
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, she's looking back at me
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, I thought she didn't see
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, we used to walk that walk
O-o-o-oooh-ho-ho, we used to talk that talk
