Mother of Pearl Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ToniT 

Cover art for Mother of Pearl lyrics by Roxy Music

I think is interesting when he says: "Party time wasting is too much fun"...like wasting time would be something relevant and necessary to withstand the cruelty and boredom that being alive do much of the time mean...also...then he says something about "Life's inner meaning...", what makes me think about him being a philosophical kind of person getting to paralised into a mid-crisis or possibly neurotical and perfeccionistic kind of attitude, which simply keeps him from coming up or ahead in life and gets hin all stranded there...
