10 Virginia Plain
(Bryan Ferry)
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're been around a long time just try 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 wonder but don't you
Don't you throw my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane in Acapulco we're all 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
egde 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 steamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha throught till 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

The story is a sad one, told many times.
The story of my life in trying times.
Just add water, stir in lime.
How the west was won and where it got us.
