Prince

Prince - Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance lyrics

She knew which fork 2 use

But she couldn't dance

So he hipped her 2 the funk

In exchange 4 the finance

Who's pimping who when

Nobody gets a second chance?

This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

She was older

But rich beyond compare

She'd drop a thousand dollars

At the salon

Just 2 get her hair did

He was good at compliments

Better in the bunk

She laced him with a crib in Paris

He hipped her 2 the funk

Way 2 fine he was 4 her

A dirty dog in expensive fur

As long as she's providing chips and whips

We can do this funky thang

As long as she was playing the host

He figured he would make the most of them hips and lips

He hooked her up, rocked her coast 2 coast

She was so ugly

But rich beyond compare

Dropped a couple hundred thousand

Dollars on a silver whip

Just 2 match the color of her hair

She said "Eye got plenty of what U need

Put the spoon down honey

Come on let mama feed U"

She knew which fork 2 use

But she couldn't dance

So he hipped her 2 the funk

In exchange 4 the finance

Who's pimping who when

Nobody gets a second chance?

This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

Where was eye? Oh yeah

A gentleman he was

He never spoke about her nose

So prominent because

In the dark it glowed

If she was only tan

Instead of so lily white

Her name was Doris

But he called her "Flo"

As in 'rescent

That ain't right

Fluorescent

Every night

A situation bound 2 fail

As sure a Doris'

Skin was pale

Money might talk

But what does it say?

"U better get busy if U wanna get paid

Boy, eye was fine back in the day"

She knew which fork 2 use

But she couldn't dance

So he hipped her 2 the funk

In exchange 4 the finance

Who's pimping who when

Nobody gets a second chance?

That's the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

Now dance

Dance

He spent her money oh so well

Takin' baths in cold Cristal

He took a trip 2 burn an old flame in 'Frisco

Like wow!

When Doris caught him in her arms

She shrugged her shoulders and said "No harm..."

"Just put ur name on this pre-nup

And we can all hit the disco!"

She knew which fork 2 use

But she couldn't dance

So he hipped her 2 the funk

In exchange 4 the finance

Who's pimping who when

Nobody gets a second chance?

This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance

She knew which fork 2 use

But she couldn't dance

So he hipped her 2 the funk

In exchange 4 the finance

Who's pimping who when

Nobody gets a second chance?

This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance
