Pearls

I’d sell my soul if I had any takers
I’d rest assured only if I were able
I pull the wool over your eyes
I’m a sheep in a fable
I sleep where I stand
Like a horse in a stable
I’ll think of today when I wake up tomorrow
I’ll say yesterday’s gone and I did nothing but wallow
In the sadness I create
Oh how I live for the feeling
If the road wasn’t traveled at all
Robert Frost there’s a reason
I’m mixing things in this glass that’ll let me
Forget about you and how much you upset me
I saw the writing on the wall
I just couldn’t read it
If you can’t bare being alone
I understand why you need him
Don’t take your own advice
If it’s not any good
Cuz I’d pay overprice for pearls if I could
Your listing traits that I have and your saying they’ll get me
Nowhere fast in a world that’s gonna convict me
Of everything that I’m not
Well ya I know what you’re saying
But when I’m no longer calling the shots
I’ll go rest in my grave
Figures round up and down
You’re taking your chances
On the dollar bill
It’s gonna bring you future advances
If this is all we are
Well maybe money’s the answer
But when you look up out at the stars
Don’t money feel like a cancer
Don’t take your own advice
If it’s not any good
Cuz I’d pay overprice for pearls if I could
Don’t take your own advice
If it’s not any good
Cuz I’d pay overprice for pearls if I could
Won’t you make me happy
Won't you make me proud
Won't you tell me you can’t live without my love
Won't you make me happy
Won't you make me proud
Won't you tell me you can’t live without my touch
