1st verse:
The Eastern Princess left her town,
– that’s what I was told –
’cause
she was unsatisfied with life
and wanted better one.
Her body as her only asset,
she had hit the road
and in the first harbour she’s now
standing, all alone.
The winds around these parts smell so
exciting and new
rinsing away all that she
was used to back at home.
2nd verse:
She had heard _ people talking about
quite a lot of things:
the fancy cars, discos, and those
fashionable clothes.
She wanted to see all that, get her
share of everything.
To that end, she was ready to do
almost anything.
Daytime escort company
and massages in evenings,
you need to submit to the Master
who will pay your bills.
Chorus:
Night carries on
the young wanderer,
she will get paid
for her sins:
the money’s well-earned,
that’s for sure.
She walks along
the night-lit streets,
she’s hooked on booze
and drugs;
they help her forget
how she feels.
3rd verse:
Twelve months ago she had planned to
put an end to it:
she’s gonna get straight and teach her-
self some discipline.
She hates what she is craving for but
cannot control it,
the temptation is much stronger than
many would believe.
Reality blurs away,
the drink slips off her hand
And as the dawn breaks, she’ll again
cry herself to sleep.
(Chorus)
Outro:
Night carries on
Princess of East
she will get
paid for her sins:
it’s well-earned
money,
that’s for sure.
Once again in life,
she would like to have
a safe home, some
peace of mind
and just... someone she could love.
