Lyrics
Turn the lights down (way down low)
Turn up the music (Hi as Fi can go)
All the gang's here (everyone you know)
It's 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)
What's your number? (Never you mind)
Take a powder (but hang on a minute, what's coming r'ound 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 life's inner meaning and my latest fling
It's the same old story
All love and glory, it's a pantomime
If you're looking for love in a looking glass world
It's pretty hard to find
Oh, Mother of Pearl
I wouldn't trade you for another girl
Divine intervention, always my intention
So I take my time
I've been looking for something
I've always wanted, but was never mine
But now I've 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, everyone's ideal
But you are my favorita
And a place in your heart, dear
Makes me feel more real
Oh, Mother of Pearl
I wouldn't change you for the whole world
Your 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
