We’re still months away from the official release of Lady Gaga’s highly-anticipated next album ARTPOP, but it hasn’t stopped internet leakers from getting ahold of new music. Check out a pretty good quality version of “Burqa” which is expected to land on the new album.
There’s no telling what the final version of this song may sound like by the time the album comes out but the production value sounds pretty close to a finished, mastered version. The song surfaced on various sites, including Tumblr which is where we received an embed code from. Listen for yourself below:
“Applause” is now available! Purchase the song in iTunes and pre-order ARTPOP.
The lyrics to the song are as follows:
I killed my poor, former friend, left her in the trunk on highway 10
Put the knife under the hood If you find it, send it straight to Hollywood
Hahahaha Hahahaha Hahahaha
Aura-a-a-a Aura-a-a-a
I’m not a wandering slave I am a woman of choice
My veil is protection for the gorgeousness of my face
You want to fancy me cause — woman to love But in the bedroom,
the size of them’s more than enough
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peak underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura?
Do you wanna touch me, let’s make love Do you wanna be the peak underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura
Behind the aura, Behind the aura, Behind the aura
Enigma popstar is fun
She wear burqa for fashion
It’s not a statement as much as just a move of passion I may not walk on your street,
or shoot a gun on your soil I hear you screamingBecause of pleasure and toil
Dance, Sex, ART POP, Dance, Sex, ART POP
Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna be peak underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura?
Do you wanna touch me, let’s make love Do you wanna be the peak underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?
Behind the aura, Behind the aura, Behind the curtain, Behind the burqa,

Most fans would agree that even this sounds a little odd for Lady Gaga. Update: The more we listen, the more we like it.
It looks like Lady Gaga has been listening to “Burqa” since at least October of last year, as she has tweeted to the producer that she was listening to “**rq*.”
No fear were all good @zedd miss u buddy been listening to **rq* all day.
