Terence Trent D'arby - Roly Poly lyrics

Glamorous arrogance thrilled me

In the melancholy winter time

(Uncle Bill please give me 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 talking 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 talking 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

And 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 talking 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
