Lyrics

Well i've been up all night again Party time wasting is too much fun Then I step back thinking Of lifes inner meaning And my latest fling Its the same old story All love and glory Its a pantomime If youre looking for love In a looking glass world Its pretty hard to find Oh mother of pearl I wouldnt trade you For another girl Divine intervention Always my intention So I take my time Ive been looking for something Ive always wanted But was never mine But now Ive 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 Everyones ideal But you are my favorita And a place in your heart dear Makes me feel more real Oh mother of pearl I wouldnt change you For the whole world You're 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 featherbed quilted Faced with silk Softly stuffed eider down Take refuge in pleasure Just give me your future Well 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 wouldnt trade you For another girl
