Turn the lights down
   Way down low
   Turn up the music
   Hi as fi can go
   All the gang?s here
   Everyone you know
  
   It?s a crazy scene
   Hey there just look over your shoulder
   Get the picture? No no no no .......(Yes)
   Walk a tight-rope
  
   Your life-sign-line
   Such a bright hope
   Right place, right time
   What?s your number?
   Never you mind
  
   Take a powder
   But hang on a minute what?s coming round the corner
   Have you a future?
   No no no no .......(Yes)
  
   Well I?ve been up all night again
   Party-time wasting is too much fun
   Then I step back thinking
  
   Of life?s inner meaning
   And my latest fling
   It?s the same old story
   All love and glory
  
   It?s a pantomime
   If you?re looking for love
   In a looking glass world
   It?s pretty hard to find
  
   Oh mother of pearl
   I wouldn?t trade you
   For another girl
   Divine intervention
   Always my intention
  
   So I take my time
   I?ve been looking for something
   I always wanted
   But was never mine
  
   But now I?ve seen that something
   Just out of reach - glowing -
   Very Holy grail
  
   Oh mother of pearl
   Lustrous lady
   Of a scared world
   Thus: even Zarathustra
   Another-time-loser
   Could believe in you
   With every goddess a let down
   Every idol a bring you 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
   Everyone?s ideal
   But you are my favorita
   And a place in your heart dear
  
   Makes me feel more real
   Oh mother of pearl
   I wouldn?t 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 feather-bed quilted
  
   Faced with silk
   Softly stuffed eider down
   Take refuge in pleasure
   Just give me your future
  
   We?ll 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 wouldn?t trade you
   For another girl
