Party Doll - Bryan Ferry

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

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
