|
Long neck, shipwrecked terrified swan |
|
Lies in her mind left a burner on |
|
We crowd into the grand salon |
|
We're watching the mansion burn |
|
And I'm not quite down with the way they roll |
|
They throw knives from their eyes at my parasol |
|
And I'm only human after all |
|
Go easy on me |
|
Oh it's not like a country lane |
|
A day on the beach in Spain |
|
I'm courting a madness |
|
I cannot explain |
|
Oh Virginia |
|
We didn't know you had it in ya |
|
Oh Sweet Virginia |
|
And I coughed this up in a sooty perfume |
|
Out of my mouth like a feather plume |
|
And now here's one more crazy tune |
|
Adversity rings my bell |
|
And the wound came loose with a terrrible stench |
|
The pain left a stain on my piano bench |
|
And I chased it with a monkey wrench |
|
Cursing in my broken french |
|
It's not like a country lane |
|
A day on the beach in Spain |
|
I'm courting a madness |
|
I cannot explain |
|
Oh Virginia |
|
We didn't know you had it in ya |
|
Oh Sweet Virginia |
|
And no you can't play that in this serious hall |
|
Only apes wearing capes get the curtain call |
|
Your invitation to the ball |
|
Must be lost in the mail |
|
And I don't quite feel like working this crowd |
|
The rest has requested that I dumb it down |
|
They'll run your circus right out of town |
|
If you won't abide, but it's suicide |
|
Not like a country lane |
|
A day on the beach in Spain |
|
I'm courting a madness |
|
I cannot explain |
|
Oh Virginia |
|
We didn't know you had it in ya |
|
Oh Sweet Virginia |
|
We didn't know you had it in ya |
|
Oh Sweet Virginia |
