Songteksten

Tenement, dirty street
Walked and worn by shoeless feet
In silence long so complete
Watched by a shimmerin' sun
Old eyes in a small child's face
Watchin' as the shadows race
Through walls and cracks that leave no trace
And daylight brightness shuns
The days of Pearly Spencer
(Ah-ah-ah)
The race is almost run
Nose pressed hard on a frosted glass
Gazin' at the swollen mass
On concrete fields where grows no grass
Stumbles blindly on
Iron trees smother the air
With witherin' they stand and stare
Through eyes that neither know nor care
Where the grass is gone
The days of Pearly Spencer
(Ah-ah-ah)
The race is almost run
Pearly, where's your milk white skin?
What's that stubble on your chin?
Buried in the rot-gut gin
You played and lost not won
You played a house that can't be beat
Now look, your head's bowed in defeat
You walked too far along the street
Where only rats can run
The days of Pearly Spencer
(Ah-ah-ah)
The race is almost run
The days of Pearly Spencer
(Ah-ah-ah)
The race is almost run
