Roxy Music - Virginia Plain





Make me a deal and make it straight

All signed and sealed I'll take it

To Robert E. Lee I'll show it

I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause

We've been around a long time

just try try tryin' to

Make make the big time...



Take me on a roller coaster

Take me for an airplane ride

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

Don't you throw away my pride aside besides

What's real and make believe

Baby Jane's in Acapulco

We're flyin' down to Rio



Throw me a line I'm sinking fast

Clutching at straws can't make it

Havana sound we're trying

hard edge the hipster jiving

Last picture show's down the drive-in

You're so sheer you're so chic

Teenage rebel of the week



Flavors of the mountain streamline

Midnight blue casino floors

Dance the cha-cha through til sunrise

Open up exclusive doors oh wow!

Just like flamingos look the same

So me and you,

just we two got to reach for something new



Far beyond the pale horizon

Some place near the desert strand

Where my Studebaker takes me

That's where I'll make my stand but wait

Can't you see that Holzer mane

What's her name Virginia Plain
