San Simeon Lyrics - Bryan Ferry

Walk up the driveway endlessly curving 

Go through the front door, it's so inviting 

Baronial great hall once so exciting 

Haunted by shadows faces in hiding 

Chair by the fire, I feel a tremor 

Silent reminder you used to be there 

You are the princess, my wand doth wake you 

Fantasy playmate candlelight lover 

Teasing in French lace, exotic promise 

So undemanding, yet understanding 

Each wall a picture some of his best work 

Delicate touches, they're simply charming 

Coffee table culture full color pages 

Props archetypal floral arrangement 

Stereo gram cabinet, walnut veneer 

True reproduction no one can hear 

Tiger skin rug love I stroke you bite me 

Executive leather upholstered tightly 

Bar in the next room, cocktails at seven 

Soft lights, sweet music lounge through eleven 

Let's walk in the garden, French windows open 

Patio paving concrete and crazy 

Roses in blossom, they're doing well this year 

Geranium pattern shrub topiary 

Lie on your lush lawns, waterfall bubbles 

Drink at my fountain, forget all your troubles.
