Lyrics Robyn Hitchcock

Robyn Hitchcock

Dark Princess

When I'm naked, I tell no lies

You are fur-lined, but you're wise

When you're golden, I'm your beast

Seven minutes and you're released

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

Silhouetted -- you're hard to beat

I saw your outline above your feet

I saw your footsteps, I saw the snow

And I was hoping you'd say hello

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

Turn up the silence

Turn up the snow

Turn up the glove you wear

Turn up the love you show

The love you show

I kneel before you, bearing a crown

Merciful princess, won't you look down?

I'm drinking your waters, I'm clutching your sleeve

You're further inside me than you'd ever believe

Than you'd ever believe

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

Dark dark dark dark dark dark dark princess

This one goes out to the Dark Princess

I looked for her and she found me

Yeah, she found me

OK
