Lyrics

The prince was a bird
Not guilty or the like
A true friend, sip and soft
No suffering cry
All names and some cranks
He'd powdered all off
Their sycophantic gifts
Were never enough
Old Lady Shade turns
A vespertilian thing
A motion event
A friend of the jinn
The prince & old Lady Shade
The prince & old Lady Shade
She has a fair eye
She takes her fair share
Of the city's midday
That lunch lady's glare
The prince & old Lady Shade
The prince & old Lady Shade
General Woo very nearly smiled
Saw the light in the little child
The prince & old Lady Shade
The prince & old Lady Shade
Written by: David H. Baron, Peter Murphy
