Intro: verse 1 She came on the stage In a dress like the sky She had painted a sunset Around her eyes And all of the people Were charmed and surprised 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 she had no place else She was welcome to stay But she better get back And she thanked him the same Leaving him pretty and high and dry Pretty and high and dry verse 3 The prince was confused So he asked the magician The magician arrived At the answer profound If she takes off her dress Then the sky will fall down If she takes off her dress Then the sky will fall down 'Cause 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 And 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
