Lyrics Bryan Ferry

Bryan Ferry

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 tryin' to, tryin' to but you

Make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster

Take me for an airplane ride

Take me for a six days wonder but

Don't you, don't you throw my pride aside besides

What's real and make believe

Baby Jane's in Acapulco

We are 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 shows 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 till sunrise

Opens up exclusive doors, oh wow

Just like flamingos, look the same

So me and you, just we two

Got to search 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
