#12 Tell Me I’m a Thai Princess

Tell me I’m a Thai princess in my purple paisley silk

It is your honor, yea, to take me out on the road,

Four legs draped down sides of a motor bike

My arms wrap you up in front of me

Padded in leather

Boots, helmets, goggles, grippy gloves

I ride with you now

Dirt devils chase us and the haze filters rays

Say what you need to, say it

I am special and safe with you

Anywhere any speed. Tell me
