Pearly Queen Songtext
von Traffic

I bought a sequin suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine than I′d ever seen
She had some gypsy's blood flowing through her veins
And when the time was right she said that I would be my destiny


I traveled ′round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in

I had a strange dream in my head
I saw a pearly queen lying dead
And all around her feet flowers grew
And they were made of silk and sequins too, too

I bought a sequin suit from a pearly queen
She could drink more wine than I′d ever seen
She had some gypsy′s blood flowing through her veins
And when the time was right she said that I would be my destiny
