The Fighting Princess

from Thirteen Stories High by John Watts

/

lyrics

Can you make love without your mouse?
Why do you never want to leave your house?
How is your life beyond that screen,
With perfect strangers looking in?

My eyes are dry
I need a drink.
Switch off that terminal machine
I can't communicate with you at all.

You must have felt better,
When you read my letter
Say it don't matter.
Tell me about that.
You must think I'm stupid.
Believing in cupid
I just want to prove it.
What d'you think about that ?

Love is strong
But it's not strong enough
To bring us to our senses.
Love is strong
But it's not strong enough
For the fighting princess.

And has escaping from your cage,
Into this jungle cyberspace,
Produced the freedom that you need,
Or are you lonelier than I'll ever be ?

Instead of speaking on the phone,
You should be driving into town
And making me a happy man again.

There are people out there
Who are paralysed.
But that don't stop them getting around.
There are people out there
Who are mesmerised.
But they've still got their feet on the ground

The cafe is closing in an hour
Will you come out and join me now ?
There must be more to life than this.
I wanna show you what it is.
And as the wine is soaking in,
Fat lady plays the violin.
Just like the way it's always been before.
