Mother of Pearl

Well I've been up all night
Party time wasted
It's so much fun
And I stepped out thinking
Of life's meaning
In my latest fling
It's the same old story
All love and glory
It's a pantomime
If you're looking for love
A looking glass world
It's pretty hard to find
Oh, mother of pearl, wouldn't trade for another girl
Divine intervention
Always my attention
So I take my time
I've been looking for something
I've always wanted
But could never find
But now I see that something
Just out of reach
Glowing so Holy Grail
Oh mother of pearl
Lustrous lady
Of a sacred world
Even Zarathustra
Another time loser
Could believe in you
With every goddess a let down
Every idol I bring down
It gets your down
But the search for perfection
Your only direction goes on & on
Canadian Club life
A place in the country
Everyone's idea
You're my favorita
A place in your heart
Dear makes me feel more real
Oh, mother of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the whole world
Oh, mother of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the whole world
You're high-brown holy with lots of soul melancholy shimmering
Your big time sickness
Was always my weakness
Like a simple tune
But no dilettante
Or filigree fancy
Beats the plastic you
Exposed in another
Works in another
Slips right into view
Oh, mother of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the whole world
Oh, mother of pearl, I wouldn't change you for the whole world
