And we stare each other down, Like victims in the grind. Probing all the weakness and hurt still left behind, And we cry, The tears of pearls... We do it. Oh we do it. Is love really the tragedy the way you might describe? Or would a thousand lovers still leave you cold inside? Make you cry... These tears of pearls... All these mixed emotions we keep, Locked away like stolen pearls. Stolen pearl devotions we keep, Locked away from all the World. Your kisses are like pearls, So different and so rare, But anger stole the jewels away, And love has left you bare, Made you cry... The tears of pearls... Well I could be the tired joker, Pour my heart to get you in, Sacrifice my happiness just so I could win, Maybe cry... These tears of pearls... All these mixed emotions we keep, Locked away like stolen pearls. Stolen pearl devotions we keep, Locked away from all the World. We twist and turn where angels burn, Like fallen soldiers we will learn, That once forgotten twice removed, Love will be the death... The death of you. (Hm... babe) (C'mon darling...) (Hm... hm... hm... yeah...) All these mixed emotions we keep, Locked away like stolen pearls. Stolen pearl devotions we keep, Locked away from all the World. All these mixed emotions we keep, Locked away like stolen pearls. Stolen pearl devotions we keep, Locked away from all the World. |
