"Great Princess Story" lyrics - THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS

Quite a view from my deck chair
Sailor on this ship of doom
Like the fable of the astronaut:
Wanted space but there's only room

Been singin' in the rain
Got to keep those spirits up
While we're all waiting to be saved
It was tightly rehearsed but gave
The impression of pure improv
The impression of pure improv

Now we're watching Oscar bait
Because the paywall's been torn down
Well at least all the drinks are free
As free as the trapped can be

And the jokes get darker as
All the nights get longer, yeah
All the barstools like pylons set
At the scene of the accident

And the reflections of the blinking stars
In the Lido pool...
It just breaks my heart

Oh I hope for the waves

Gonna find the lifeboat plans
And escape under blue moon
Well you know love and death, they say
They will both take your breath away

And midnight gets earlier
But your eyes adjust to the light
You wonder where everyone went
Left the scene of the accident

And the reflections of the blinking stars
In the Lido pool...
It just breaks my heart

Oh I hope for the waves

And the reflections of the blinking stars
In the Lido pool...
It just breaks my heart
