Roxy Music - Beauty Queen lyrics

It never could work out

The time to make plans

Has passed, faded away

Oooh the way you look

Makes my starry eyes shiver

Then I look away

Too much for one day

One thing we share

Is an ideal of beauty

Treasure so rare

That even devils might care

Your swimming-pool eyes

In sea breezes they flutter

The coconut tears

Heavy-lidded they shed

Swaying palms at your feet

You're the pride of your street

While you worship the sun

Summer love of fun

Gold number with neighbours

Who said you'll go far

Maybe someday a star

A fast mover like you

And your dreams will come true

All of my hope, and my inspiration

I drew from you

Our life's pattern's drawn in sand

But the winds could not erase

The memory of your face

Deep in the night

Plying very strange cargo

Our soul-ships pass by

Solo trips to the stars - in the sky

Gliding so far

That the eye cannot follow

Where do they go

We'll never know
