True To Life Lyrics - Avalon - Roxy Music

So it gets to seven 

And I think of nothing 

But living in darkness 

And the diamond lady 

Well, she's not telling 

Don't even know her name 

It's amazing 

Times have changed 

In days of old 

But imagination'll leave you 

Standing out in the cold 

Dancing city 

Now you're talking 

But where's your soul? 

You've a thousand faces 

I'll never know 

True to life 

True to life 

There are complications 

And compensations 

If you know the game 

Agitated in xenon night 

I'll take you home again 

Travel way downtown 

In search of nothing 

But the sky at night 

And the diamond lady 

When she's not talking 

It's alright 

True to life 

True to life 

True to life 

So I turn the pages 

And tell the story 

From town to town 

People tell me 

"Be determined 

Poor country boy" 

But too much luck 

And too much trouble 

Much time alone 

But arm in arm 

With my seaside diamond 

I'll soon be home
