Mother Of Pearl - Wendy And Lisa

A cool day for a tidal wave

Drowned impressions falsely made

A cold stare makes light of this

Size me up, make sure that it fits

And I’ll be so nonchalant

You can call me, call if you want

I know you’ve thought of this

Down the hammer, case dismissed

Guilty’s the sun whose shadow’s in doubt

The argument’s weak, the jury’s still out

I won’t say anything

But write it in the sky

Mother of pearl

We took a photograph

You looked upset, so I tore it in half

You screamed I wasn’t fair

The picture was proof that you didn’t care

And I’ll see you get ahead

Writing the words that I should have said

Death to the one accused

Goodbyes were written, none of them used

Guilty’s the sun whose shadow’s in doubt

The argument’s weak, the jury’s still out

I won’t say anything

Just write it in the sky

Mother of pearl

Guilty’s the sun who swallows in doubt

The testament’s weak, the jury’s still out

He won’t say anything

Just write it in the sky

Mother of pearl

A cruel death, a perfect defense

I slept through the work

But the cover made sense

Guilty’s the one who’s always in doubt

The argument’s weak, the jury’s still out

I won’t say anything

But write it in the sky

Mother of pearl

Guilty’s the sun whose shadow’s in doubt

The argument’s weak, the jury’s still out

I won’t say anything

But write it in the sky

Mother of pearl

Guilt is the one thing we could do without

Judgement, the anvil, it’s weighting us down

We could do anything

We write it in the sky

Mother of pearl
