Velvet Goldmine Virginia Plain lyrics

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

'Cause we've been around a long time
Just try, try, tryin' to
Make make the big time

Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six days wander
But don't you, don't you throw away my pride aside

Besides what's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco
We're flyin' down to Rio

Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound, we're trying
A hard edge the hipster jiving


For last picture shows down the drive-in
You're so sheer, you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week

Flavors of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the Cha-Cha through 'til sunrise
Open up exclusive doors

Oh wow, just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two
Got to reach for something new

Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
And 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?
