David Byrne Princess Lyrics

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

Ooooooh-ho-ho, she`s looking back at me
Ooooooh-ho-ho, I thought she didn`t see
Ooooooh-ho-ho, we used to walk that walk
Ooooooh-ho-ho, we used to talk that talk
