Velvet Goldmine movie - Virginia Plain lyrics

rate me

Song by Roxy Music<br /><br>

Make me a deal and make it straight<br>

All signed and sealed I'll take it<br>

To Robert E. Lee I'll show it<br>

I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause<br>

We've been around a long time just try try tryin' to<br>

Make make the big time...<br>

<br>

Take me on a roller coaster<br>

Take me for an airplane ride<br>

Take me for a six days wander but don't you<br>

Don't you throw away my pride aside besides<br>

What's real and make believe<br>

Baby Jane's in Acapulco<br>

We're flyin' down to Rio<br>

<br>

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast<br>

Clutching at straws can't make it<br>

Havana sound we're trying hard edge the hipster jiving<br>

Last picture show's down the drive-in<br>

You're so sheer you're so chic<br>

Teenage rebel of the week<br>

<br>

Flavors of the mountain streamline<br>

Midnight blue casino floors<br>

Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise<br>

Open up exclusive doors oh wow!<br>

Just like flamingos look the same<br>

So me and you, just we two got to reach for something new<br>

<br>

Far beyond the pale horizon<br>

Some place near the desert strand<br>

Where my Studebaker takes me<br>

That's where I'll make my stand but wait<br>

Can't you see that Holzer mane<br>

What's her name Virginia Plain<br>

<br>
