Stranded on Easy Street — текст песни (Bruce Hornsby)

B. r. hornsby/john hornsby



Well she was so fine

On the first impression

I was taken, taken in by the view

With eyes so soft

And a face so smooth

I found her selling in a fashion booth

All that I said was "do you sell suits? "

She said youre a scream and your accents so cute

Her mother had to meet me, it all sounded funny

But then my friends told me well the girls got money



Its alright, its okay

Hey dont you worry about a thing

Youre the king today but theres a price you may pay

If you take your seat in the royal suite

You might get stranded on easy street



Well she said she was

A good time girl

Laughing laughing a bit too loud

Such a face

The specialist creates

She gets the benefit of the doubt

I know that she wanted more than I could give

But I just had to see how the other half lived

She showed me her friends, she showed me her throne

I didnt sell my soul I just took out a loan



Its alright, its okay

Hey dont you worry about a thing

Youre the king today but theres a price you may pay

If you take your seat in the royal suite

You might get stranded on easy street



She runs to her mother the social x-ray star

She put me at the wheel of her fathers new car

She loved how her touch made me want to drive farther

She loved how her money meant shed tell me how far



Its alright, its okay

Hey dont you worry about a thing

Youre the king today but theres a price you may pay

If you take your seat in the royal suite

You might get stranded on easy street
