Princess

unknown

I saw a princess, she's riding the irt
She raised her eyes & i thought that she looked at me
In a disco i thought that i'd seen her before
She got married, & now she don't dance no more

She knew the doorman at every club in town
She'd go out dancing & stay out 'til early dawn
When they'd start throwing down, she would clear the floor
She got married & 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, & he pretends not to see
That there's a princess, & 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
