10 ContributorsAlphabet St. Lyrics
Sufjan Stevens covers Prince’s “Alphabet St.” from Prince’s 10th studio album, Lovesexy.
He talks about his first experiences with Prince’s music in this interview.
[Verse 1]
I’m going down to Alphabet Street
I’m gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I’m gonna talk so sexy
She’ll want me from my head to my feet
(Yeah she will)
I’m gonna drive (I’m gonna drive) my daddy’s thunderbird (My daddy’s thunderbird)
A white rad ride (White rad ride) ‘67 (‘67) it’s absurd
I’m gonna put her in the back seat
And drive her (White rad ride) to Tennessee
[Verse 2]
Excuse me, baby
I don’t want to be rude
But tonight I guess, I guess I’m (Just not) just not in the mood
So if you don’t mind, I would like to (White rad ride) watch, can I?
We’re going down, down, down, if that’s the only way
To make this cruel, cruel world hear what we’ve got to say
Put the right letters together and make a better day
Baby it’s the only way (Watch, can I?)
(Hey! Can I? Hey! Watch?)
