Zheng Yi Sao & Questions For Her (ARTE Live at Turner Contemporary)

[Verse 1]
What if you could end your days
Doing the shit you love
With the ones you love?
You beat the house at its own game
So why did your name get lost
When you built so much?

[Pre-Chorus]
How did you find grace
Under pressure?
All that pressure
How did you step away
From your empire
Did it all just get tired?

[Chorus]
And when the time comes
I'd love to know how
How did you do it?
I'd love to know how
How did you do it?
The waves were high
But somehow you ruled them
How did you do it?
Oh, how did you do it?
No easy life
But somehow you schooled them
How did you do it?
Oh, how did you do it?

[Verse 2]
You made the boys all bend and shake
Taking the southern seas
With some husband's name
But the man made arms of history
Then pulled you behind their cloak
So predictably

[Pre-Chorus]
What drove you to the waves?
Was it money?
Was it power?
Did it take a woman's mind to say
You were ready
It was over

[Chorus]
And when the time comes
I'd love to know how
How did you do it?
I'd love to know how
How did you do it?
The waves were high
But somehow you ruled them
How did you do it?
Oh, how did you do it?
No easy life
But somehow you schooled them
How did you do it?
Oh, how did you do it?

Oh-oh
Da da la la la la la la, da
Da-da da-da, da-da da-da da, da
