Strange Life - Arabian Prince

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
