At yesterdays Born This Way Ball in Melbourne, Lady Gaga debuted a brand new song, acoustically, titled 'Princess Die.' We first learned about the songs existence in November 2011, via an interview with Vanity Fair, in which Gaga previewed the song. Here's what they had to say...
Quote:
After the meal, Gaga went to the piano to play us a new song she was working on about Princess Diana—a song about fame and celebrity death. Even in its rough stages, it has her trademark catchy chorus, and she sang the sad, slightly bitter lyrics in full voice.
Here are the full lyrics:
Quote:
VERSE:
Leave the coffin open when I go
Leave my prose and lipstick on so everybody knows
Pretty will be the photograph I leave
Laying down on famous knives so everybody sees
Bleach out all all the dark
I'll swallow each peroxide shot
Someone I'll know could love and save me from myself
Maybe I'll just clean the **** of these fancy shoes
I'll be a Princess Di and die with you
CHORUS:
I wish that I was strong
I wish that I was wrong
I wish that I could cope
But I took pills and left a note
VERSE:
I'm hungry from an anorexic heart
I've been trying to tell you how I feel
But was never very smart
I'm wrapped in silks made for Egyptian queens
I'll do it in the swimming pool
So everybody sees
Bleach out all the dark
I'll swallow each peroxide shot
Volumes I know will love and save me from myself
Maybe I'll just clean the **** off of these fancy shoes
I'll be a Princess Di and die with you
POST-CHORUS:
Princess die
I want to see her cry
Princess die
Princess die
We want to watch her cry
Princess die
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
But I took pills and left a note
I wish that I could go in my rich boyfriend's limo
Right after he proposed with a 16-carat stone wrapped in rose gold
With the paparazzi all swarming around
In my Louis Vuiton white buttoned down
Oh it's not that deep
So bob your head for another dead blonde
Who's real prince is in heaven
She just wants to sleep
OUTRO:
The final act of life will be my own hands to do
I'll be a princess and die with you
Applaud, Approve.
Are you here for it? I think it'll sound good as a studio version
YES The video is all i can think of, would just be amazing,just hope it wont be another YOU & I thrown in everything disaster.
It has potential to bring something new from Gaga an emotional side if its a ballad but with Gaga anything is possible,it might be an upbeat song.

I'm sure I saw someone say that Vanity Fair said that it's mid-tempo like Alejandro.
