Zheng Yi Sao & Questions For Her (ARTE Live at Turner Contemporary)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] What if you could end your days Doing the shit you love With the ones you love? You beat the house at its own game So why did your name get lost When you built so much? [Pre-Chorus] How did you find grace Under pressure? All that pressure How did you step away From your empire Did it all just get tired? [Chorus] And when the time comes I'd love to know how How did you do it? I'd love to know how How did you do it? The waves were high But somehow you ruled them How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it? No easy life But somehow you schooled them How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it? [Verse 2] You made the boys all bend and shake Taking the southern seas With some husband's name But the man made arms of history Then pulled you behind their cloak So predictably [Pre-Chorus] What drove you to the waves? Was it money? Was it power? Did it take a woman's mind to say You were ready It was over [Chorus] And when the time comes I'd love to know how How did you do it? I'd love to know how How did you do it? The waves were high But somehow you ruled them How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it? No easy life But somehow you schooled them How did you do it? Oh, how did you do it? [Outro] La, la-la la la La, oh, oh Da-da da-da, da-da da-da da, la Oh-oh Da da la la la la la la, da Da-da da-da, da-da da-da da, da
