Lyrics Sanctuary - Anthony Phillips

Sanctuary

29 in Highgate, P.R. Queen
So socially unattainable
Down the line in Balham Johnny’s keen
Pursuing the unobtainable
I said «Hey, you, up in the clouds
She’s spinning you like a circus wheel.»
By moonlight, scheming all his moves
Detectives at her heels
Sally, what’s your game?
What are you trying to do?
Sally, I’m miles away
I can’t take my eyes off you.
Tea with Princes, dinner with the stars
She’s cool amongst High Society
Johnny takes her to a wimpy bar
And acts with perfect sobriety
I said «Hey, you, up in the clouds
She’s spinning you like a circus wheel.»
Call the Airforce, call the C.I.A.
She won’t escape this time
Sally, what’s your game?
What are you trying to do?
Sally, I’m miles away
I can’t take my eyes off you.
Taking off for ten weeks on the Nile
The Nights will be rich with mystery
Johnny’s swimming with the crocodiles
But he’s gonna teach her some history
I said «Hey, you, up in the clouds
She’s spinning you like a circus wheel.»
He’s in the gym, he’s on the driving range
It’s make or break this time.
Sally, what’s your game?
What are you trying to do?
Sally, I’m miles away
I can’t take my eyes off you.
