Pretty and High

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She came on the stage In a dress like the skies She had painted a sunset Around her eyes And all the people Were charmed and surprised At how pretty and high and shy she was Pretty and high and shy [Verse 2] She at the window And the prince upon the bed They were for an hour Before he said If you got no place else You're welcome to stay But she'd better get back And she thanked the man the same Leavin' him pretty and high and dry Pretty and high and dry [Verse 3] The prince was confused So he asked the magician The magician rolled around To an answer profound If she takes off her dress Then the sky will fall down If she takes off the dress Then the sky come a-tumblin' down She's pretty and high and a lie Pretty and high and a lie [Verse 4] 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
