Turn the lights down
Way down low
Turn up the music
Hi as fi can go
All the gangżs here
Everyone you know
Itżs a crazy scene
Hey there just look over your shoulder
Get the pictureż No no no no .......(Yes)
Walk a tight-rope
Your life-sign-line
Such a bright hope
Right place, right time
Whatżs your numberż
Never you mind
Take a powder
But hang on a minute whatżs coming round the corner
Have you a futureż
No no no no .......(Yes)
Well Iżve been up all night again
Party-time wasting is too much fun
Then I step back thinking
Of lifeżs inner meaning
And my latest fling
Itżs the same old story
All love and glory
Itżs a pantomime
If youżre looking for love
In a looking glass world
Itżs pretty hard to find
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnżt trade you
For another girl
Divine intervention
Always my intention
So I take my time
Iżve been looking for something
I always wanted
But was never mine
But now Iżve seen that something
Just out of reach - glowing -
Very Holy grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a scared world
Thus: even Zarathustra
Another-time-loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol a bring you 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
Everyoneżs ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh mother of pearl
I wouldnżt change you
For the whole world
Youżre 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 feather-bed quilted
Faced with silk
Softly stuffed eider down
Take refuge in pleasure
Just give me your future
Weżll 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 wouldnżt trade you
For another girl
