Simply Lorraine sings for a while 
In a three-octave harmonica style 
It's easy to see her harmony 
Stabbing at my songs from behind 
Trying to stick her cosmic philosopher's 
Words into rhymes 
Nobody can tell it the same 
To her evcrything's just like a game 
But she'll make it seem some big machine's 
Driving you clean outa your mind 
Come on admit it, that's just the limit, 
We've travelled from mad to sublime 

Chorus: 
Oh she's a lady from a background of pearls 
Who's tormenting and bending my world 
My only vice is the fantastic prices I 
Charge for being eaten alive. . . 

So Nina can paint dragons on guitars 
She can roll up a Victorian vase, 
That gal can sweep, skip, 
Jump and leap into a room full of clowns, 
No one'll tame her, no one'll claim her, 
'til she's been at least all around 
Doreen is a hunk of a man, 
She can wipe every boy from the land 
But Lorraine can fly it way outa sight 
Then bring it on back to the fold 
Give me a chance, I want romance, 
Don't give me your love quite so cold 

Chorus:
