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

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 you 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 you schooled them

How did you do it?

Oh, how did you do it?
