Ptretty And High - The Roches

She came on the stage in a dress like the sky

she had painted a sunset around her eyes

and all of the people were charmed

and surprised at how pretty and high

and shy she was pretty and high and shy

She at the window and the prince upon the bed

they were for an hour before he said

if she had no place else

she was welcome to stay but she'd better get back

and she thanked him the same leavin' him pretty

and high and dry pretty and high and dry

The prince was confused

so he asked the magician the magician arrived

at the answer profound

if she takes off her dress the sky will fall down

if she takes off her dress the sky will fall down

cause she's pretty and high

and a lie pretty and high and a lie

I work at the circus and

I sleep with the clown

when I took off my dress the sky

fell down

if the sky falls down then we play

on the ground cause

I'm pretty and high and only partly a lie pretty

and high and only partly a lie pretty

and high and only partly a lie
