Pigs & Pearls
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know you stole it and now you’re gonna walk it around
Oh my body knows you stole it, and now you’re gonna walk it around
Feels just like a Pentacost, a tongue of fire’s licking me down
Am I a man or broken proper noun
Feels like the real thing, but he’s thick like a movie screen
Says his coffee’s black, but that boys just sugar and cream
Now everybody’s running to come get some
They say. My oh my what have you become?
It’s not that boy. It’s not his brother
It’s just me, you’ve got no other
Human friend they’re just hard to find
And with my mouth I’ll shut your mouth
Those awful words won’t come about
Yeah you’re just a pig I fed with pearls
I know your greasy smile and you can just walk it around
My family knows your greasy smile and you can just walk it around
Ma and pa pick up the phone call for help then put it back down
Put it down
You’ve been boyfriended twice so hard before
The man took it all, but the boy took what you were good for
Both were tempting with their blood and their bread
And my oh my what got into your head
It’s not that boy. It’s not his brother
It’s just me, you’ve got no other
Human friend they’re just hard to find
And with my mouth I’ll shut your mouth
Those awful words won’t come about
Yeah you’re….. just a pig I fed with pearls
Well, I went to your house sweet Maybeline
And you did a deed that I never seen
I will never go that way again
No. I have seen the end of ends
It’s not that boy. It’s not his brother
It’s just me, you’ve got no other
Human friend they’re just hard to find
And with my mouth I’ll shut your mouth
Those awful words won’t come about
Yeah you’re just a pig I fed with pearls
