Terence Trent D'arby Roly Poly lyrics

Your dangerous charm and your glamorous arrogance
Thrilled me in the melancholy winter time
But this war of attrition to prove your world ambition worries me
And you're too concerned with the weight you want to lose

Well, if you listen to confusion long enough
It starts to make sense
Can you hear me talkin' to ya?

Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?
Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?

Your fatalist's closet where blood stained deposits hide deeply
Underneath the cusp of Venus fly
A terrible beauty, you are my dear of aphrodisiacs and diamonds
But your lonely tears trail your penis envy eyes

And now stop worrying about your weight
It looks alright to me, dear
Can you hear me talkin' to ya?

Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?
Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?

All your somethings are turning into nothings
As you reach for something greed inspired
All the hopes that I once held as your lover
Are falling down as my manhood loses fire


Your kinship with money, a Queen Bee with honey suits you
As you now belong to the ever changing guard
A signpost for progress, a fine token lioness leaves me
'Cause as you say, dear, I'm just a face without a card

Well, if you listen to confusion long enough
It starts to make sense
Can you hear me talkin' to ya?

Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?
Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?

Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?
Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?

Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, aren't you lonely?
Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?

Roly poly, holy, holy
Time is tight, get it right, aren't you lonely?
Roly poly, holy, holy
