Prince and Prince & the New Power Generation - Segue

Hello

(Vanessa?)

I'm not recording this time
So how are you?

(How are you?)

Fine

(Fine)

Excuse me, but ah, what's up with your voice?

(It's a special phone, a tone box)

A tongue box
Oh, l-like in the movie Barbarella?

(Yeah, gives me courage, you know)
(Like a veil I can hide behind)
(It talks at, around, through her)

Okay, so why are you giving me an interview?

(Because I want you)

Pardon me?

(To tell the truth)

Oh, well, I will if you will
For example, the first song of your opera

(Ah, the opera)

Why don't you tell me your real name

(My name is Victor)

That is not the truth and you know it
How old are you?

(I'm into my fifth soul now so that makes me three hundred)

Why do you pretend to be amazed?

(And twenty, I'm amazed at your beauty)
(I saw you on television)

Three hundred and twenty hmm, don't sweat it honey, I'm too young for you
Although rumor has it that the crown princess of Cairo
Is now a member of the NPG
Are you there?

Do you know that the princess is sixteen years old?
How 'bout this for a story
"Three-hundred and twenty year old robs the cradle"
What a scandal

(Scandal)

You know, if you don't give me the real story
I'll have to make one up of my own
So why don't you tell me the truth, the truth, the truth
Why don't you tell me the truth?
