LoLa Rothschild lyrics
The lower east side is dark tonight
As the princess lay asleep in her bed
Underneath the gold canopy
With satin pillows, upholstered in red
A true blue blooded fashionista
Who′d stitch her visions with a needle and thread
Lola always was a dreamer
With style to raise the dead
Money can't buy you everything
And somehow I think that she knows
That if a rocket lit up the city tonight
Jimmy Choo couldn′t save her soul
She's always on a path to somewhere else
Some vacation as I'd wait in the dust
I never made love to a princess
Something told me that I must
She′d never know nothing else
Or done things like us common folk do
She′s just an heiress with a vision
And a trust for all she wants to do
I'd work my fingers to the bone
Just to make a few dollars to fold
And take her out in the city to the dives she′s never known
Money can't buy you everything
And somehow I think that she knows
That if a dirty bomb hit our city tonight
Louie V couldn′t save her soul
She's always on a path to somewhere else
Some vacation as I wait in the dust
I was falling so hard for the princess
And it was more than lust
I′d only seen it in the movies
Africa is a place I've never been
Lola went there on a mission
But some mystery illness set in
And when she laid there in a third world nation
Her silent press kept her spirit alive
They flew her back to America, but she couldn't quite survive
You see, money can′t buy you everything
And somehow I think we all know
That if rockets lit up a city tonight
No world order could save our souls
We′re all on this path to somewhere else
Some vacation as we turn to the dust
I guess we're all just like the princess and the wheels on the bus
No, I never made love to a princess
I guess life is so unjust
