Lyrics St. Vincent

St. Vincent

Prince Johnny

Prince Johnny, you're kind but you're not simple

By now I think I know the difference

You wanna be a son of someone

Remember the time we went and snorted

That piece of the Berlin Wall that you'd extorted

And we had such a laugh of it

Prostrate on my carpet

You traced the Andes with your index

And bragged when and where and who

And who you gonna bed next

All with sons of someone's

All with sons of someone's

Saw you pray to all

To make you a real boy

Saw you pray to all

To make you a real boy

Prince Johnny, you're kind but do be careful

By now I know just when to stand clear

When all your friends and acolytes

Holding court in bathroom stalls

Where you pray to all

To make you a real boy

Saw you pray to all

To make you a real boy

But honey don't mistake my affection

For another spit and penny-style redemption

Cause we're all sons of someone's

We're all sons of someone's

I wanna mean more than I mean to you

I wanna mean more than I meant to him

So I pray to all

To make me a real girl

So I pray to all

To make me a real girl

So I pray to all

All

All

All
