1. Pearl Pierce

Pearl Pierce

(chorus)

broken heart, the last dawn you’ll ever see

there I am on my bed

between the sheets

sobbing into a pillow case

my pearl earrings pierced you

(end chorus)

 

(verse 1)

you know just how it is exactly

friends always like to whisper talk

but I could not help notice or shake suspicions

while I was out on a midday walk

I need a calculator when I do math

but it doesn’t add up, and it brought my wrath

 

nowhere to hide and nowhere to run

be a man and say something unplanned

 

(chorus)

broken heart, the last time I feel jealousy

so it goes in my bed

feeling so lonely

thinking all about

how my pearl earring will pierce you

(end chorus)

 

(verse 2)

I can see that you had a whole discrete life

that happy woman by your side is that your wife?

I don’t need your words, I can tell by the ring

the price of that rock must’ve kept you from our trip of skiing

 

I’ll treat you as if you’re a criminal

I’ll talk about our love as a memoir and tell all

 

(chorus)

broken heart, forgetting about all those times

happiness, tenderness

mean nothing to me

and the one person I loved

with my pearl earring piercing you

(end chorus)

 

(bridge)

broken heart, the last dawn you’ll ever see

broken heart, the last time I feel jealousy

 broken heart, the last dawn you’ll ever see

broken heart, the last time I feel jealousy
