There lived a genuine
American princess
In the heart of a heartless city
Raised on Coke and french fries
Seeing stars in her eyes
Honey hair and heartbreaking pretty
She was deep into teenage dreams
And crystal songs
And love affairs
Her folks would always
Think were wrong
This is a fable of fantasy and funk
Oh, this is the story of
The princess and the punk
Way across town where
It's kind of run down
Lived a young easy rider
And this two came to love each other
Her folks said he was no good
So they met every chance that they could
And planned to run away with one another
They were deep into teenage dreams
And his brand new bike
So they took off down the highway
In the dead of night
This is a fable of fantasy and funk
Oh, this is the story of
The princess and the punk
Now some people say
They crashed on their way
'Cause they never were heard of
And midnight riders have
Heard their laughter
But the truth is that they got through
And did just what other folks do
They settled down to live
Happily ever after
Now the kids are into
Teenage dreams and disco bands
And love affairs they think
Their folks don't understand
But we just smile a secret smile
And every now and then
We climb aboard that dusty bike
And ride the roads again
This is a fable of fantasy and funk
Oh, this is the story of
The princess and the punk
Once upon a time There lived a genuine American princess In the heart of a heartless city Raised on Coke and french fries Seeing stars in her eyes Honey hair and heartbreaking pretty She was deep into teenage dreams And crystal songs And love affairs Her folks would always Think were wrong This is a fable of fantasy and funk Oh, this is the story of The princess and the punk Way across town where It's kind of run down Lived a young easy rider And this two came to love each other Her folks said he was no good So they met every chance that they could And planned to run away with one another They were deep into teenage dreams And his brand new bike So they took off down the highway In the dead of night This is a fable of fantasy and funk Oh, this is the story of The princess and the punk Now some people say They crashed on their way 'Cause they never were heard of And midnight riders have Heard their laughter But the truth is that they got through And did just what other folks do They settled down to live Happily ever after Now the kids are into Teenage dreams and disco bands And love affairs they think Their folks don't understand But we just smile a secret smile And every now and then We climb aboard that dusty bike And ride the roads again This is a fable of fantasy and funk Oh, this is the story of The princess and the punk Explain Request ×
