Zheng Yi Sao & Questions For Her lyrics by Bastille
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
How did you find grace under pressure?
All that pressure
How did you step away from your empire?
Did it just get tired?
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 schooled them
How did you do it?
Oh, how did you do it?
You made the boys all bend and shake
Takin’ the southern seas with some husband’s name
But the man-made arms of history
Then pulled you behind their cloak so predictably
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?
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 schooled them
How did you do it?
Oh, how did you do it?
