Party Doll Lyrics

Bryan Ferry Party Doll

When the world outside of you
Seems to weigh too much for you
Then draw within' yourself
For there is no one else

Well it's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth

Black and blue has turned to grey
Real life pictures gone astray
But don't give in
Imagination rules again

It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's the truth

Party doll, oh, how you turn me on
Now the day's for sleepin'
For I'll be leapin' all night long

Party doll, without you I can't go on
Now the way I'm figurin'
You'll be Leda
And I'll be Swann

It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth

It's a sin
What I'm sayin'
But it's truth

And if our secret love
Is haunting you
No one can hold me
Like you used to do

Party doll, what's your game?
Do you move, or entertain?
What people say
When it don't mean a thing

It's a sin
Heads they lose
Tails you win

Party doll, I must confess
This wishin' well of loneliness
Has dragged you down
I'll wind you up, let's twist again

It's a skin
Skin to skin
Amen
