Princess Lyrics - David Byrne

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
