Lyrics
her river s not the ganges
she got the western mind
You know she s safe as a cow on a calcutta street, that girl has gone insane
she s got a common welfare
You know she s safe as a cow on a calcutta street, but this indian is english
And reading magazines, not like the folks back east, east indian princess lives in a western dream
Happy like a child, happy like a child III, happy like a child
Not like the folks back east, you know she s safe as a cow on a calcutta street
That girl has gone insane, but this indian is english and i m afraid it shows Loudon, it is the serpentine
It is the serpentine, you know the sari and the sandals
This english way of life has got that other life beat, not like the folks back east
She got the western pain, she got a stud in her nose, you know she s safe as a cow on a calcutta street
cause you can see her at wimpey s and on a movie queue line
It is the serpentine, east indian princess lives in a western dream, she got the western mind
her mother is a queen
She s got a common welfare, she sits in straightbacked chairs
No matter how she tries, she s got meat on her bones
And reading magazines, she got a stud in her nose
this english way of life has got that other life beat
She got a mark on her forehead, cause you can see her at wimpey s and on a movie queue line
She doesn t starve at least, east indian princess
She got a stud in her nose, her river s not the ganges III, she s got a common welfare
This english way of life has got that other life beat, her river s not the ganges, that girl has gone insane
Her mother is a queen, not like the folks back home, she doesn t starve at least
No matter how she tries, she sits in straightbacked chairs
her mother is a queen
but this indian is english
East indian princess, her river s not the ganges
She s got meat on her bones, her river s not the ganges
She got the western pain, she doesn t starve at least
She got the western mind, and reading magazines
She got a mark on her forehead, you know she s safe as a cow on a calcutta street
this english way of life has got that other life beat
Not like the folks back east, and reading magazines, she doesn t starve at least
she s got a queen that cares
cause you can see her at wimpey s and on a movie queue line
not like the folks back east
It is the serpentine, she got a stud in her nose Princess, she got a mark on her forehead
And reading magazines, she got a stud in her nose
This english way of life has got that other life beat, she s got meat on her bones
