Roxy Music - Ain't That So lyrics

(ferry)

I´ve been around

So far it seems

Too bad the blues

Blew my schemes

Dynamite

Such sweet surprise

In southern heat

Or northern skies

Ain´t that so

Shadows cling

Where shutters close

Who can tell

Heaven knows

Why some can laugh

And some can sing

Stand in line

Or get on down and swing

Ain´t that so

Cross the street

Who´s ringing bells?

Peeling walls

Of cheap hotels

Neon flare

A sudden chill

And there you lie

And time stands still

Ain´t that so
