Pearl in the Palm

There is not much worse could be done to me

Than lonely love, lonely love

This could this be the verse ignominy festers inside of

Johan Strauss in the closet composes a waltz

As the saying goes

I feel like a tethered dove with a broken nose

You know

As the saying goes

I feel like I'm close enough to hear the very grass grow

You know

You know, you know, you know, hey

I lost

I lost

I lost

And no one won

Champagne for everybody here

And real pain for everybody else

Sally said, "Everything is happening here, right now

It's all misery and suffering in all else"

"It's true," she said, "I read it"

As the saying goes

I feel like a tethered dove with a broken nose

You know

As the saying goes

I feel like I'm close enough to hear the very grass grow

You know

You know, you know, you know, hey

Hey

Hey, hey

Hey

Supermarket doors kiss the air all day all night

A ruffle in the curtains up above, I watch on

Like a pearl in the palm, my dear, a pearl in the palm

It was all that I could do to hold on, hold on

I lost

I lost

I lost

And no one won
