String Of Pearls (Album Version) - Soul Asylum[00:00:00]

She swings the string of pearls on the corner[00:00:12]

The street lights reflect the light in the water[00:00:17]

The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing[00:00:22]

And they splash and bounce and roll 'cross the wet street[00:00:27]

As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings 'round the corner[00:00:32]

She darts from the eyes of the panics truck driver[00:00:37]

Who's racing to the delivery room[00:00:42]

'Cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb[00:00:46]

And the sack breaks and out come[00:00:56]

The Siamese Twins[00:00:58]

Who grow up to become the first President[00:01:01]

With two heads are better than one[00:01:05]

He puts his heads in his hands[00:01:15]

Says I got to put my heads together[00:01:17]

I can become the best President ever[00:01:21]

And not just President fend for yourself[00:01:25]

Signs his name takes the blame[00:01:53]

For all of the names with no shame[00:01:55]

In their beliefs they adjourn and they leave and in walks a man[00:02:00]

With a broom and a knife and blood on his hands[00:02:07]

And he sweeps everything under the rug[00:02:11]

And goes home to his kids and gives them a hug[00:02:16]

But his wife was not there she had just left a letter[00:02:20]

That said you'd be much better off without me[00:02:25]

Now his wife took the train to her ex-lover's funeral[00:02:39]

Who died in the bathroom hit his head on a urinal[00:02:43]

When they got together the knowledge was carnal[00:02:48]

And the widow was at the funeral and they had quite a cat fight[00:02:52]

And they fell into the hole where the casket was resting[00:02:57]

And the preacher just left in the middle of the service[00:03:01]

'Cause death was one thing but women made him nervous[00:03:06]

And he ran to his car and he drove 'round the corner[00:03:10]

Then something in the street caught the light in his eye[00:03:33]

He pulled over reached down and picked up a pearl from the gutter[00:03:37]

And he didn't know what to think[00:03:44]

And he brought it home and washed it in the sink[00:03:48]

And he gave the pearl to Sister Mary Teresa[00:03:52]

Who could not accept it so she gave it to Lisa[00:03:57]

A young prostitute who was missing a pearl[00:04:02]

On the necklace that broke late last night[00:04:06]
