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 xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if 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 saloon 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 Ugly... So ugly, rich beyond compare She's 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, c'mon, let mama feed U" She knew which fork 2 use but she couldn't dance So he hipped her 2 the funk in xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if 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'd glow If she was only tan instead of so lily white Her name was Doris but he called her "Fluo" 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 xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? That's the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Now, dance Dance He spent her money oh so well Take a bath in cold Kristal He took a trip 2 burn an old flame in 'Frisco, like wow But 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 xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if 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 xchange 4 the finance Who's pimpin' who if nobody gets a second chance? This is the story of illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance Now, dance Dance
