Artist/Band: Roxy Music
Lyrics for Song: Mother Of Pearl [Live/Live]
Lyrics for Album: Live [2003]



Turn the lights down

Way down low

Turn up the music

Hi as fi can go

All the gangs here

Everyone you know

Its a crazy scene

Hey there just look over your shoulder

Get the picture?

No no no no .......(yes)

Walk a tightrope

Your life sign line

Such a bright hope

Right place right time

Whats your number?

Never you mind

Take a powder

But hang on a minute whats coming round the corner?

Have you a future?

No no no no .......(yes)

Well i've been up all night again

Party time wasting is too much fun

Then I step back thinking

Of lifes inner meaning

And my latest fling

Its the same old story

All love and glory

Its a pantomime

If youre looking for love

In a looking glass world

Its pretty hard to find

Oh mother of pearl

I wouldnt trade you

For another girl

Divine intervention

Always my intention

So I take my time

Ive been looking for something

Ive always wanted

But was never mine

But now Ive seen that something

Just out of reach glowing

Very holy grail

Oh mother of pearl

Lustrous lady

Of a sacred world

Thus even zarathustra

Another time loser

Could believe in you

With every goddess a let down

Every idol a bring down

It gets you down

But the search for perfection

Your own predilection

Goes on and on and on and on

Canadian club love

A place in the country

Everyones ideal

But you are my favorita

And a place in your heart dear

Makes me feel more real

Oh mother of pearl

I wouldnt change you

For the whole world

You're highbrow holy

With lots of soul

Melancholy shimmering

Serpentine sleekness

Was always my weakness

Like a simple tune

But no dilettante

Filigree fancy

Beats the plastic you

Career girl cover

Exposed and another

Slips right into view

Oh looking for love

In a looking glass world

Is pretty hard for you

Few throwaway kisses

The boomerang misses

Spin round and round

Fall on featherbed quilted

Faced with silk

Softly stuffed eider down

Take refuge in pleasure

Just give me your future

Well forget your past

Oh mother of pearl

Submarine lover

In a shrinking world

Oh lonely dreamer

Your choker provokes

A picture cameo

Oh mother of pearl

So so semi-precious

In your detached world

Oh mother of pearl

I wouldnt trade you

For another girl
