Once upon a time
There lived a genuine
American princess

In the heart of a heartless city

Raised on !@&@e and french fries

Seeing stars in her eyes
Honey hair and heartbreaking pretty


She was deep into teenage dreams
And crystal songs
And though, her friends

Her folks would always
Think were wrong


This is a fable of fantasy and fun
Oh, this is the story of
The princess and the punk


Way across town where
It's kind of run down

Lived a young easy rider
And this two came to love each other


Her folks said he was no good
So they met every chance that they could
And planned to run away with one another


They were deep into teenage dreams
And his brand new bike

So they took off down the highway
In the dead of night


This is a fable of fantasy and fun
Oh, this is the story of
The princess and the punk


Now some people say
They crashed on their way

'Cause they never were heard of
And midnight riders have
Heard their laughter


But the truth is that they got through
And did just what other folks do

They settled down to live
Happily ever after


Now the kids are into
Teenage dreams and disco bands
And love affairs they think

Their folks don't understand

But we just smile a secret smile

And every now and then
We climb aboard that dusty bike
And ride the roads again


This is a fable of fantasy and fun
Oh, this is the story of

The princess and the punk
