Lyrics Strange Life - Arabian Prince

Strange Life

In the beginning, there was darkness
Then, came light
Sound was next
And then came, the beat
(The Arabian Prince)
(Strange life, strange life, strange life)
The end’s not near so don’t scream and shout
Live a strange life until your time runs out
Do what you like and do what you please
Like an eighty-year old lady tryin' to do a strip tease
Controversy is an everyday thing
People live their lives like puppets on a string
Doing the same old thing at the same old time
It gets even more monotonous than the nursery rhyme
Don’t let society get you down
Live a strange life like me
Don’t let people mess you around
Live a strange life like me
The Arabian Prince is as strange as can be
Living his life in pyramid city
Swinging in the tomb is how he gets his fix
He gets a natural purple high on a backwards mix
(verse played backwards)
I have a camel so conceit
He only wants to dance to the new wave beat
He brings the ladies to my tribe
They make a wish then close their eyes
I shake my leg you step aside
But little do they know they’re all going for a ride
Hey, you know it
I’m from the east that rises like the sun
If your boyfriend is a drag come have some fun
With a real desert prince who sleeps all day
Then opens his doors at night so the women can play
Ah, nice
Ah
Come slip inside
Don’t try to hide
I got something for you tonight
Oh baby it’s really bright
Now touch it
Step inside and feel my beat
Take a drink, close your eyes and feel my body heat
The Arabian Prince, can you understand that?
And that’s a fact
Hey won’t you scratch it
Scratch it
Scratch it
Scratch it
Scratch it, scratch it, scratch it
Breakdown!
Feel it!
Yeah, that sounds real good
Everything seems to be coming together
But, but hey we don’t have an ending, what are we gonna do?
(I don’t know)
Well, we gotta put something there, what are we gonna put there?
(Well I could put some guitar)
Nah, we don’t want any guitar, how 'bout get the old lady back in there?
(old lady sound)
Nah nah, never mind forget the old lady
So, what are we gonna do?
(Damn, I don’t know)
Well I got an idea (Yeah?)
Let’s end it, right here!
saddle up the camel, let’s go home
