East Indian Princess (Album Version)

East Indian princess lives in a western dream
Happy like a child, her mother is a queen
You know shes safe as a cow on a Calcutta street
This English way of life has got that other life beat
And reading magazines, she sits in straightbacked chairs
Shes got a common welfare, shes got a queen that cares
Shes got meat on her bones, she doesnt starve at least
Not like the folks back home , not like the folks back east
Yeah, but this Indian is English, no matter how she tries
You know the sari and the sandals, its just a bad disguise
She got a mark on her forehead, she got a stud in her nose
Yeah, but this Indian is English and Im afraid it shows
Cause you can see her at Wimpeys and on a movie queue line
Her rivers not the Ganges, it is the Serpentine
East Indian princess, she got the western pain
She got the western mind, that girl has gone insane
