J. Roddy Walston And The Business - Pigs & Pearls Lyrics

I know you stole it and now you’re gonna walk it around.
Oh my body knows you stole it, and now you’re gonna walk it around.
Feels just like a Pentacost, a tongue of fire’s licking me down.
Am I a man or broken proper noun.

Feels like the real thing, but he’s thick like a movie screen.
Says his coffee’s black, but that boys just sugar and cream.
Now everybody’s running to come get some.
They say. My oh my what have you become?

It’s not that boy. It’s not his brother.
It’s just me, you’ve got no other….
Human friend they’re just hard to find.
And with my mouth I’ll shut your mouth.
Those awful words won’t come about.
Yeah you’re….. just a pig I fed with pearls.

I know your greasy smile and you can just walk it around.
My family knows your greasy smile and you can just walk it around.
Ma and pa pick up the phone call for help then put it back down. Put it down.

You’ve been boyfriended twice so hard before.
The man took it all, but the boy took what you were good for.
Both were tempting with their blood and their bread.
And my oh my what got into your head.

It’s not that boy. It’s not his brother.
It’s just me, you’ve got no other.
Human friend they’re just hard to find.
And with my mouth I’ll shut your mouth.
Those awful words won’t come about.
Yeah you’re….. just a pig I fed with pearls.

Well, I went to your house sweet Maybeline.
And you did a deed that I never seen.
I will never go that way again.
No. I have seen the end of ends.

It’s not that boy. It’s not his brother.
It’s just me, you’ve got no other….
Human friend they’re just hard to find.
And with my mouth I’ll shut your mouth.
Those awful words won’t come about.
Yeah you’re….. just a pig I fed with pearls.
