(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 – ‘cos
We’ve been around a long time
Just trying to make the big time
Take me on a roller-coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six day wonder
But don’t you throw my pride aside – besides
What’s real and make-believe
Baby Jane’s in Acapulco
We’re all flying 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 – oh oh
Last picture shows down the drive-in
You’re so sheer
You’re so chic
Teenage rebel of the week
Flavours of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise
Opens up exclusive doors – oh wow
Just like flamingoes 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
