Dead Princesses Go To Heaven Lyrics by The Art of Pleasing Princes Princeton University Players Cast

The Art of Pleasing Princes (Princeton University Players Cast Recording)

MAYA
When I was young, my father told me the story of a girl
Who spent her whole life doing what she ought
She strained and loved and suffered and, in the end, she died
But angels gave her everything she sought
He told me
Dead princesses go to heaven when they earn their crown
They get to choose their lovers and they lay their burdеns down
Dead princesses go to hеaven to be reborn as queen
If they play the perfect part in this palatial scene
LOUIS
When I was young, my father told me the story of a girl
Who wanted to be something more than pretty words and pompadours
She slipped away in silence without a note or trace
Though people sometimes said they saw her dancing on a distant shore
He told me
Dead princesses go to heaven if they’re brave and smart
They cast aside their masks and lies to listen to their heart
Dead princesses go to heaven and dance through waterfalls
And they never have to worry about dresses, gowns, or balls
MAYA
I’ve thought of that, I’m not a fool
But I have a love who needs me here
LOUIS
Jason, too, could steal away
We could help you disappear
MAYA
Why should I trust you? You’re awfully nice
Every courtier has his price
You said it yourself: we’re smothered in lies
Selflessness would be a surprise
LOUIS
This would further Rowan’s plans
It’s not just foolish generosity
So if you don’t believe I’d help you
Think of it as reciprocity
MAYA
Jason couldn’t make me stay
He’s not the type to claim my heart
But while my lover’s locked away
I’d miss them far too much to part
A brilliant mage whose dismal cage
Keeps them from getting free
LOUIS
You could build a life with them
If you put your trust in me
We could stage the perfect crime
Kill the princess, spare the lover
Rowan would help you move away
And spend your lives with one another
MAYA (spoken)
Okay
LOUIS (spoken)
Okay!
BOTH
Dead princesses go to heaven where wedding bells will chime
Doing double duty as a funeral half-time
Dead princesses go to heaven
MAYA
And live just as they please
BOTH
Where every day is golden
MAYA
And the only queens are bees!
