Soul Asylum - String of Pearls слова песни
She swings the string of pearls on the cornerThe street lights reflect the light in the waterThe string it snaps and the pearls go sailingAnd they splash and bounce and roll `cross the wet streetAs she bends to chase the pearls a car swings `round the cornerShe darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driverWho`s racing to the delivery room`Cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her wombAnd the sack breaks and out come the Siamese TwinsWho grow up to become the first PresidentWith two headsAre better than oneHe puts his heads in his hands, says I got to put my heads togetherI can become the best President everAnd not just PresidentFend for yourselfSigns his name, takes the blame for all of the names with no shameIn their beliefsThey adjourn and they leave, and in walks a manWith a broom and a knife and blood on his handsAnd he sweeps everything under the rugAnd goes home to his kids and gives them a hugBut his wife was not there, she had just left a letterThat said "you`d be much better off without me"Now his wife took the train to her ex-lover`s funeralWho died in the bathroom, hit his head on a urinalWhen they got together, the knowledge was carnalAnd the widow was at the funeral, and they had quite a catfightAnd they fell into the hole where the casket was restingAnd the preacher just left in the middle of the service`Cause death was one thing, but women made him nervousAnd he ran to his car and he drove `round the cornerThen something in the street caught the light in his eyeHe pulled over, reached down, and picked up a pearl from the gutterAnd he didn`t know what to thinkAnd he brought it home and washed it in the sinkAnd he gave the pearl to Sister Mary TeresaWho could not accept it so she gave it to Lisa,A young prostitute who was missing a pearlOn the necklace that broke late last night
