Beauty Queen Lyrics - Roxy Music

Valerie, please believe 

It never could work out 

The time to make plans 

Has passed, faded away 

Ooh, 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 lover of fun 

Gold number with neighbours 

Who said that you'll go far? 

Maybe someday be a star 

A fast mover like you 

And your dreams will all 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
