String Of Pearls - jimmie's chicken shack

she want a string of pearls

all i got her was a necklace

made of flowers from the trash can

she wanna make me pay for it yeah while i’m at i t guess i’ll take another bath man

and the records out

holding steady gaining on last place

and in a moment’s notice

we’ll be ready for the next new phase

another stupid craze

she want a string of pearls

all i got her was a necklace

made of flowers from the trash can

she’s gonna make me pay for it i start to sing and cry and then it makes me laugh man

yeah we’ve all got doubts

might not be winning but still in the race

and in a moment’s notice

we’ll be ready for her next new face

it might be hard to sell

still never giving in have i given… so deep… oh.

well

will you give it all to me when you’re dead

you can keep the scent on my pillow

to settle your broken heart in head

will you think of me when you die

holding steady

moment’s notice

again she left with my heart in hand

she says she hates me yeah she’s lied before

again it’s time to play me yeah it just adds up that same sad melodic score

i wrote another one

does this one count

and did it cost as much as all the other ones

so much more.

she want a string of pearls

all i got her was a necklace

holding steady gaining on last place

and in a moments notice
