Alphaville - Oh Patti Ivory Tower

Patti can't take it She got to give it back The world is a big place and she's frightened And if you kiss her She got to kiss you back She couldn't stand a kiss for free On her own And while she's playing With all she exchanged Yawning at the multitude Her world is a big place Full of toys and boys and teddy bears Where nothing is for free That's what her mother told her once And patti has a big, big heart Bigger than her life She just forgot the most fantastic thing within She's sitting in her glasshouse And she does not dare to throw the stone To make it all come true Of what she's dreaming of And so it seems to me Patti can't take it She gotta give it back Her world is a big place and she's frightened But if you love her Maybe she'll accept Maybe she'll take your love for free On her own All alone Here is the news From my little hideaway My sweet ivory tower I've sent you songs about so many things Mighty moondogs skipping waves Dolphins playing their lives away Golden circus girls and pharaohs Fallen angels, streetside romeos Patricia's park and anyway Eternal youth and neverending summerdays Lonely girls, music halls, the mysteries of love In the event That I don't return Please take this message to understand In the event...
