Pearl in the Palm

Lyrics

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) [Refrain] I lost I lost I lost And no one won [Verse 2] Champagne for everybody here And real pain (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" [Chorus] 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) [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] I lost I lost I lost And no one won
